Judas Priest frontman, Rob Halford, opened up about his prostate cancer and said that the illness is still in remission.

During an interview with LifeMinute, Halford said:

 “I always take an opportunity to thank the Lord for me being here still, but also my great medical team. And guys, be proactive. Make sure you get your blood work done, your PSA (prostate-specific antigen) checked.

”I couldn’t believe how efficient and the love and the care and the attention that health workers give to each and every one of us.

“I had my prostate removed. I had some meds and follow-up treatment found a little bit more stuff, so we had to go in for two months of radiation treatment.

“You do what you’ve gotta do. The important thing is to stay optimistic, stay positive.

“I love my family, my healthcare people that want the best for you. So you can push through it. So anybody that’s struggling with that right now, keep that heavy metal faith. With all the due care and diligence and attention, you’ll survive.”
