Biography

Robert John Arthur Halford (born 25 August 1951) is an English heavy metal singer. He is the lead vocalist of Judas Priest, which he joined in 1973, and has received accolades such as the 2010 Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance. He is noted for his powerful and wide-ranging operatic style and trademark leather-and-studs image, both of which have become iconic in heavy metal. His side projects include Fight, Two and Halford. Halford is often regarded as one of the greatest metal frontmen and singers of all time. AllMusic said, "There have been few vocalists in the history of heavy metal whose singing style has been as influential and instantly recognizable... able to effortlessly alternate between a throaty growl and an ear-splitting falsetto." He was ranked at No. 33 on the list of greatest voices in rock by Planet Rock listeners in 2009. He has also been nicknamed "Metal God" by fans. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Judas Priest in 2022, via the Award for Musical Excellence.
