Ex-JUDAS PRIEST guitarist K.K. Downing is excited for band’s upcoming 50th anniversary.
When asked by “Rock Of Nations With Dave Kinchen” that whether he has been contacted about returning to the group for next year’s festivities.
“No, [I’ve heard] absolutely nothing at all,” Downing said.
“I think it’s not gonna happen. I really don’t think so, because those guys, they’ve got their lawyers sending me letters, so I’m dealing with that. Nothing that I’ve done — it’s just a business arrangement, a contractual thing.
I think I’ve said that they want me out of the way, every speck of me. It’s a complicated issue, really.
As I said, it wasn’t my choice, not my doing, and I asked the guys not to go that route, ‘Let’s sit down and talk about it,’ but they said no. And that’s it, really.
So I assume that the phone’s not gonna ring. So I will be, just as I said before, in a previous statement… I can’t spend the rest of my life expecting that things will happen when chances are that they won’t.”
