Judas Priest Guitarist Richie Faulkner Hospitalized, Tour Dates Postponed

Yesterday, Judas Priest announced that they will be postponing all of their forthcoming tour dates after guitarist Richie Faulkner was admitted to the hospital for “major medical heart condition issues”. The band released the following statement:

It is with deep regret that we have to postpone the rest of our US Tour – Richie has major medical heart condition issues which have landed him in hospital where he is being treated – in the meantime we are all sending love to our Falcon to wish him a speedy recovery...

As soon as we have any updates from his doctors on when we can reschedule the dates we will of course announce them - tickets will be valid.
