Odd how, after all these years, he couldn't stick it out just one more tour...the FINAL tour.

From Blabbermouth:
"Dear friends,
"It is with much regret that I will not be with you this summer.
"Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your concerns about my health. Please rest assured that I am OK.
"There has been an ongoing breakdown in working relationship between myself, elements of the band, and the band's management for some time. Therefore I have decided to step down rather than to tour with negative sentiments as I feel that this would be a deception to you, our cherished fans. However, I would urge you to please support the PRIEST as I have no doubt that it will be a show not to be missed.
"All my love and respect."
K.K. Downing

Interesting. Any word on a replacement? Maybe they could borrow one of Iron Maiden's guitar players for the tour. |

Yes it is true ....check their website. Glad i didn't get tickets...KK just saved me some dough. The guy is an average guitarist at best. Glenn Tipton is the real guitarist in that band.  |

True, but K.K. has been as much a part of the band as Glenn. To me, Priest was never about one guitarist or the other, it was about the BOTH of them. |
