Judas Priest's lead singer reportedly got annoyed by cell phone flash.
Rob Halford explained why he kicked a fan's phone out of the hand of a fan in the front row who was filming the Judas Priest at the Rosemont Theatre in the United States.
According to Blabbermouth , the fan turned on their cell phone's flash, distracting the vocalist. Another fan who was recording the show captured the moment when the cell phone flew into the crowd, still with the light on.
After the backlash, Halford explained: “The fact is, we love our fans, and of course you can film everything, and if you prefer, watch the show on your phone, and not in person. However, if you physically interfere with the Metal God's performance, you already know what will happen.”
The facts are we love our fans and you can film us all you like and watch our show on your phone rather than in the flesh – however if you physically interfere with the Metal God's performance you now know what will happen……..
