If this collaboration actually happened, metalheads the world over would lose their minds.

In an interview with the Phoenix New Times, Rob Halford was asked about future collaborations and said, “I was in the dressing room with Tobias [Forge] from Ghost, and we talked about collaborative opportunities, too.”

Could it be a tour?  A song? Either way, we’re in.

In other Judas Priest news:  Starting on their June 10 gig in Copenhagen, the band will be selling special t-shirts with proceeds going to a Parkinson’s Charity in Glenn Tipton’s name.  

Tipton went public with his Parkinson’s Disease diagnosis in February 2018 and withdrew from touring full time, but has made occasional appearances at shows this past year.  Tipton had been battling the disease for a decade before revealing his diagnosis publically.
