Judas Priest is postponing the remainder of their current U.S. tour. 

The band announced today that guitarist Richie Faulkner is in the hospital.

A statement was released on social media explaining, “It is with deep regret that we have to postpone the rest of our U.S. tour. Richie Faulkner has major medical heart condition issues which have landed him in the hospital where he is being treated. In the meantime, we are all sending love to our Falcon to wish him a speedy recovery.  As soon as we have any updates from his doctors on when we can reschedule the dates, we will of course announce them, tickets will be valid…”

What band have you always wanted to see but for one reason or another, haven’t been able to?
