It is with regret that Judas Priest announce that K.K. DOWNING has formally retired from the band and will therefore not be joining them on their forthcoming EPITAPH Tour.

The band respect his decision and naturally all wish him well.

This sucks. I'm planning on seeing them if they come near here on their tour and I would have liked to see the entire band together.

Great guitarist and all, but the minute I saw "K.K." and "retires" I thought K.K. Warslut had left D666.

^ Destroyer 666 would probably fold if he left.
