Judas Priest's Rob Halford on coming out as a gay metalhead and 40 years of 'Breaking the Law'
You got sober in the mid-Eighties. What advice do you have for people still struggling with their demons?
It made me appreciate that there are people on the outside looking in that are capable of damaging you. And that really brings into question, how do we go forward? Particularly for me as a lyricist, what can I now say and what can I not say? And then suddenly you go, “What the fuck? Why am I even thinking this way?” I hate censorship in all of its formats. I just detest it.
I would probably say that my exit was due to probably the similar circumstances as a lot of my friends, lead singers that I know that went on the same self-journey of discovery. I think it was important for me to do that. Because it’s like that song, “you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone.” Internally, as difficult as it was for me to be away from the band that I lived for, it kind of brought things into perspective and led me back to the place where I felt this is where I need to be.
What advice do you have for metalheads who feel like they’re stuck in a very straight culture but want to come out?
