JUDAS PRIEST Singer Says Band Is Saving 'Nostradamus' Set For 'Special Event Environment'

June 11, 2009

JUDAS PRIEST singer Rob Halford has told Noisecreep that the band is still planning on performing its latest album, "Nostradamus", in its entirety on an upcoming tour, since the lyrical material lends itself to such an endeavor. When probed about whether or not PRIEST would do a "Nostradamus" set, Halford said, "We would love to. In fact, we jumped the gun. We anticipated doing it towards the end of this year. It will be a massive presentation and undertaking, but we have no time to do it the way we want to, yet. So let us do 'British Steel' and at the end of this tour, we'll get into production mode to celebrate the new album. We have great ideas and we'd love to present it, but it has to be a special event environment. 'Nostradamus' is a metal album and has a tremendous amount of potential to be interpreted in different ways."

Halford hinted that the album can be performed as a full-fledged classical opera or by an instrumental orchestra. "Anything is possible in today's wonderful world," he said. "The entertainment world is full of crossovers, like the musical 'Wicked', which I hope to go see next week. Book and movies can be turned it Broadway musicals so we can transform 'Nostradamus' anyway we'd like."
