Judas Priest singer Rob Halford reflects on his sobriety, why metal band is no longer 'hell bent for leather'

Judas Priest will be honored with the award for musical excellence at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, a list that also includes Dolly Parton, who initially resisted the honor.
In his book "Biblical: Rob Halford’s Heavy Metal Scriptures," which came out on Nov. 1, the singer recalled how the animal rights organization wrote the band a letter in 2001 urging them to "use our mettle (and our metal) to riff against animal abuse" and to stop wearing leather. However, the 71-year-old shared that the group was a step ahead of them. They had adopted the synthetic leather substitute a few years prior. Stephanie Nolasco covers entertainment at Foxnews.com.
The metal icon told Fox News Digital the decision to whip up a new look was a "practical" one.
