ROB HALFORD To Guest On XM RADIO Christmas Day

December 21, 2006

Metal god Rob Halford (JUDAS PRIEST, FIGHT, HALFORD) will sit with Kevin Kash on Christmas Day (Dec. 25) at noon EST for "Halford Holiday Takeover" on XM Radio's The Boneyard (41). Halford will play some of his favorite songs, tell stories about the songs and clue the listeners in as to what is up in 2007 for the legendary JUDAS PRIEST. A repeat broadcast is scheduled for midnight.

Halford has stepped away from JUDAS PRIEST for a moment to release some solo material. The frontman has reissued his solo work through his own Metal God Entertainment label, and he's also released a new single called "Forgotten Generation" (listen to the track at MP3.com). The song deals with alienation, and Halford told Launch that he wrote the lyrics to speak to and for everyone. "To me, it means the assertation of every individual to kind of have a voice that's valuable and needs to be heard," he said. "So I'm talking about hypocrisy, I'm talking about, you know, speaking up and letting your feelings be felt and heard, and not being passed by, and that's just a streak that I carry with me, I'm the eternal optimist, in that respect."

Halford's music is available on iTunes and through the official RobHalford.com web site.

Halford and JUDAS PRIEST are deep into a concept album about the prophet Nostradamus, which should be out next year.
