| Wednesday, April 20, 2011 - K.K. Downing Leaves Judas Priest | Judas Priest have announced that K.K. Downing has left the band. They have released the following press statement
"It is with regret that Judas Priest announce that K.K. Downing has formally retired from the band and will therefore not be joining them on their forthcoming Epitaph tour.
The band respect his decision and naturally all wish him well.
Having thought long and hard about how to proceed, Rob, Glenn, Ian and Scott unanimously agreed that they should go ahead with the tour and not let the fans down all around the world.
Fate also stepped in and delivered the perfect replacement - 31 year old British guitar player Richie Faulkner - he has blended into the band perfectly and is a great talent who is going to set the stage on fire."

Comments: 166 | | Downing's retirement is an omen. My guess there is a good chance the Epitaph tour will be the final chapter of JP's long and successful career.
