Metal Gods Don’t Sing Karaoke



NEW YORK (Wireless Flash) – Heavy metal singer Rob Halford may feel at ease on the concert stage, but don’t get him in a karaoke bar. Halford, the former leader of Judas Priest, says although he has performed all over the world before thousands of people, he has never gotten onstage to do karaoke. It isn’t for lack of trying. He says that for months, friends in San Diego have been trying to get him to sing his old song, “Breaking The Law” at a neighborhood bar. So far, Halford refuses to do it, saying he “gets embarrassed.” Plus, he figures the karaoke singers who get the biggest applause aren’t the professionals but the ones you least expect. These days, Halford doesn’t have much time to go to karaoke bars anyway. He’s busy promoting his new CD, Crucible, and starts a world tour next month in Sweden.
