Rob Halford , legendary vocalist of Judas Priest , sent a message about the Coronavirus pandemic.

"It's in times like these that the metal community must unite. We know what we have to do," says Halford.

"This includes washing your hands several times a day. Staying isolated! If you have to go out, don't go shopping. Don't hoard toilet paper. Don't hoard anything! We're all in this together!"

Throughout the video, the Metal God is seen cleaning the paraphernalia he traditionally uses in his shows.

“This is very serious, okay? But we will get through this because we have been in difficult situations before in history. Humanity has this great tenacity to be strong and unite when needed. Protect each other. Protect your friends, your family. Stay in touch, that’s important. Text, FaceTime, Instagram, all of that is incredibly important when there’s so much fear in the air. That’s when we really have to help each other and do whatever it takes and do the right thing.”

"I love you all. Stay strong, stay protected, stay metal – oh yeah!"
