“So, 50 years of Judas Priest, man,” Rob Halford told the crowd before bringing Tipton on stage. “There’s one very special person that’s been a part of this band right from day one, and is still a part of this band, and always will be a part of this band: a very special heavy metal hero, Mr. GT!”
Decked out in a “No Surrender” shirt – a nod to his approach to dealing with the effects of Parkinson’s Disease that led to his retirement from full-time touring a few years ago – Tipton took the stage with his bandmates for the final three songs of the show: "Metal Gods", "Breaking The Law" and "Living After Midnight."
The rocker’s appearance followed a similar event during a show in Oakland, CA the night before the Las Vegas concert.
The spring 2022 series features a number of rescheduled dates on Judas Priest’s North American tour, which opened in Peoria, IL on March 4 and will wrap up in Hamilton, ON on April 13.
