Rob Halford

Robert John Arthur "Rob" Halford (born August 25, 1951) is a British musician, songwriter, and producer, primarily known as the vocalist of the British heavy metal band Judas Priest (in 1973–1991 and from 2003 to the present). After leaving the collective in 1993 on the wave of declining interest in metal, Halford experimented for a long time with various musical genres, which did not evoke understanding from the singer's longtime fans. However, returning to traditional metal, he achieved success as a solo performer far greater than the band he had left was enjoying at that time. Halford's return to Judas Priest in 2003 restored the band to its former popularity, but at the same time did not become an obstacle to the musician's solo career within the framework of his own band, Halford. For his powerful vocal abilities and significant contribution to the development of metal, Halford received the nickname "Metal God."
