‘Raw Deal’ by Judas Priest with Rob Halford Part 1
Welcome to Series 3 of Queer The Music! We're kicking off with an absolute icon from the world of rock - Rob Halford. Rob has spent half a century fronting one of heavy metal's biggest and most influential bands, Judas Priest. The first openly gay metal singer, it’s hard to underestimate the impact Rob Halford’s coming out must have had for other queer rock fans. In this episode Rob talks about how he created the look for Heavy Metal, the pressure to keep his sexuality secret, his unplanned coming out, the art and dangers of cruising, his secret to a successful relationship and the risk he took writing a song about Fire Island. You can watch the full episode on Mercury Studio's YouTube Channel here We'd love to hear from you! Get in touch with any questions and comments @queerthemusicpodcast on Instagram.
