I don’t rule out the chance to go on stage as and when I feel able to blast out some Priest! So at some point in the not too distant future I’m really looking forward to seeing all of our wonderful metal maniacs once again” Rob, Richie, Ian and Scott have this to say: “We have been privileged to witness Glenn’s determination and steadfast commitment over the years, showing his passion and self belief through the writing, recording and performing sessions with Priest – he is a true metal hero! We are not surprised by Glenn’s insistence that we complete the Firepower tour and thank Andy for joining us to make Glenn’s wishes become real – as Glenn has said we also can’t wait to have him with us at any time any place on the road….. We love you Glenn!” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyKa_tc3Xr4 UPCOMING TOUR DATES: Mar 13 Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza Wilkes-Barre, PA Mar 15 Covelli Centre Youngstown, OH Mar 17 Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum Uniondale, NY MORE INFO Mar 18 The Anthem Washington, DC Mar 20 Prudential Center Newark, NJ Mar 22 Mohegan Sun Arena Uncasville, CT Mar 23 The Palladium Worcester, MA Mar 25 The Arena at TD Place Ottawa, Canada Mar 27 Budweiser Gardens London, Canada Mar 28 Tribute Communities Centre Oshawa, Canada Mar 30 Casino Rama Rama, Canada MORE INFO Mar 31 Masonic Temple Detroit, MI Apr 02 The Armory Minneapolis, MN Apr 03 The Riverside Theater Milwaukee, WI Apr 05 Resch Center Green Bay, WI https://youtu.be/lo1SHi_f3F4?t=4 To submit a review or story for consideration hit us at [email protected] Check out the Live Music News and Review.com Facebook page for updates and announcements.
