THE BEAST

In a recent interview with the Edmonton Journal,  JUDAS PRIEST frontman Rob Halford  said that a straight man can can’t do his job.

“A straight man can’t do my job. That’s the way I view it.” Halford said. Freddie  [ Mercury ] said it wasn’t important, but if  Freddie  hadn’t have been gay,  QUEEN would’ve been a totally different band.”

In a new interview with RadioactiveMike Z , host of the program  “Wired In The Empire,” Owens was asked if he had a response to  Rob ‘s latest remark, to which he replied: “ Rob  and I are friends, and I really don’t care [about his comment]. What’s he supposed to say?  Rob  is the band. He is the singer, and  Rob ‘s gay, so what you can say? I don’t care that he said it. He’s the singer of  JUDAS PRIEST . I think it’s funny. Obviously, someone else can sing in [the band]. Maybe I’m gay and I didn’t know it.”

“I love  Rob . He’s so amazing — he’s an amazing guy. We’re friends, and he’s the singer of  JUDAS PRIEST . He’s the Metal God… I don’t think he means anything by it. He just said it. I don’t care.  JUDAS PRIEST  was my college. I do what I do now because of  JUDAS PRIEST … I sang with them; I had a great time; and comments like that, those are just fun comments.”
