Heavy metal singer Robert John Arthur Halford was born in England on August 25, 1951. He performs as the lead vocalist for Judas Priest, a band that was established in 1969 and has won awards like the 2010 Grammy for Best Metal Performance.
He has been praised for both his distinctive leather-and-studs appearance, which has become legendary in heavy metal and his strong and versatile operatic singing technique. Fight, Two, and Halford are just a few of the side projects he has worked on.

In Sutton Coldfield, Robert John Arthur Halford was born on August 25, 1951, to his parents Barrie Halford, and Joan Halford.
He was raised on the Beechdale housing estate in adjacent Walsall, the same neighbourhood where Noddy Holder lived.
Robert Plant, Janis Joplin, and Little Richard were among of his earliest musical influences.
Few vocalists in the history of heavy metal have voices that are as influential and as recognized as Halford’s, who can seamlessly switch between a throaty growl and an ear-splitting falsetto, according to AllMusic.
