Guitarist is taking time off from the band after his Parkinson's disease worsened.

Guitarist Glenn Tipton joined Judas Priest for two shows in Tokyo, Japan, to play “Metal Gods”, “Breaking the Law” and “Living After Midnight”.

Tipton has been replaced by fellow band producer Andy Sneap since his diagnosis of Parkinson's disease.

In a recent interview, the guitarist said he plans to play with the band whenever possible: “As long as I’m able to get on stage and play well, I will. I love it, I love being on stage with Judas Priest, and I’ll do it as much as I can.”
