In an interview with MTV's Superock, Halford said: “I have been a gay man all of my life, and it's only been in recent times that it's an issue that I feel comfortable to address." "An issue that has been with me since recognising my own sexuality, something that I have been comfortable with forever.” #comingout #judaspriest #robhalford #heavymetal
