Bummer. Always my favorite member of Priest. Also on my list of "most improved players over his career" with Tony Iommi...

That's a tough disease. One of my friends had it and ended up committing suicide.

Sucks to hear that. He's been looking frail for a while it seems.

If Power Trip was his life's final show, that's a pretty good note to end on.

Rock N Roll HOF too, I guess.

Damn. Sucks for Glenn. And Mick Jones of Foreigner revealed just this week or so that he has Parkinson's, too. Guess this means Mick won't be finishing Foreigner's farewell tour.

He hasn’t played live with Foreigner live for years. He didn’t do any of those farewell tour dates.

Very unfortunate and sad. Glenn was the the heart and soul of the band imo

I'd be shocked if he played a single note on the new album.

Once he bows out of his occasional live appearances and/or tips the bucket, maybe they will let KK play along to Living After Midnight / Breaking the Law at the end of their shows.
