Rob Halford is the legendary frontman of Judas Priest, one of the most successful heavy metal bands of all time.

Known as 'The Metal God' by his devoted, global fan base, Rob Halford has always subverted the norm, and Confess will offer readers a compelling and honest look at the struggles he has faced with addiction and his sexuality as well as exploring his music and his many brushes with controversy.

There have been few vocalists in the history of heavy metal whose singing style has been as influential and instantly recognizable as Halford's. Confess, published to coincide with the 50th anniversary of Judas Priest - and described by Halford himself as 'exciting, fun, disturbing and terrifying' - will celebrate five decades of the guts and glory of rock-n-roll.

Critic Reviews

Rob Halford has written one of the most candid and surprising memoirs of the year. . . Confess is a riproaring tale, a funny, often shocking and genuinely emotional story

The Metal God shares stories from a life like no other, spending over 50 years in the heavy metal bubble, facing adversity head-on but always with a wry smile and horns held firmly aloft

Raw and searingly moving, Confess will delight metal heads and music fans alike

A unique and deeply revealing insight into the extraordinary life he has led

funny, forthright and unexpectedly poignant

Captivating... Even for those who give metal a wide berth, his tale is fascinating

A rock confessional with a difference... deeply, deeply moving... Confess does not always make for easy reading. There is a real sadness to parts of it but Rob Halford's warmth and humanity shine through. Absolutely one of the best rock biogs in ages.

It's a compelling story, well told, and should become a school set text to counter homophobia and promote inclusion

Halford's dry black country wit is the perfect complement to his eye-popping candour

The most hotly anticipated hard-rock autobiography of the year. . . gossipy, good-natured and hilarious. . . it's also gloriously and relentlessly filthy

Rock 'n' roll page-turner. . . riotous and revealing

There are in this memoir the usual triumphs, tragedies and tales of misadventure. . . but the real appeal is in Halford's self-deprecating demeanour and dry, Black Country wit.

Most relevant

A wonderful insight into Rob’s life. I think having Rob tell his own story makes this. As a Judas Priest life long fan, Confess is a window into a world most will never see, let alone survive. With the added difficulty of being a gay gentleman in an intolerant world. It’s a credit to Rob to share this with us. Plenty of things in the book to surprise and amaze. Thanks Rob.
