Former Judas Priest guitarist KK Downing swears he will never again play with the band. He claims that being “segregated” from the rest of the band at last year’s Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame induction was the final straw. “I was glad that I [participated] because I kind of earned it,” Downing told broadcaster Eddie Trunk, “but it just didn’t feel like it used to – far from it.”
Ozzy Osbourne is to undergo what he swears will be his final surgical procedure since his serious fall in 2019, which aggravated injuries he suffered in a 2003 quad bike crash. “It’ll be the final surgery,” he says. “Regardless of the way it ends up, I’m not doing it any more. I can’t.”
