Legendary '80s Metal Band Performs Fan-Favorite for First Time in 20 Years: 'Sounding Great'

Legendary '80s Metal Band Performs Fan-Favorite for First Time in 20 Years: 'Sounding Great' originally appeared on Parade. One of the most important metal bands of all time is the legendary British act Judas Priest. The band got their start in '70s by ushering much of the emerging metal sound pioneered by bands like Black Sabbath. Vocalist Rob Halford pioneered much of the singing style that would be come synonymous with heavy metal. The band developed much of the aesthetic emblematic of metal, including leather outfits, on-stage antics, horror inspired album art and themes, and many other contributions. Songs like "Painkiller," "Electric Eye," and "Breaking the Law" have been hugely influential to all parts of rock and metal, making them one of the most significant bands in the genres. Fans of the band were treated to a special moment at a recent show, as the band dusted off one of their old fan favorites and performed their song "Solar Angels" for the first time in twenty years. Fans were ecstatic to see and hear the song again, leaving excited reactions in the comments. "Love this song reminds my of the old days as a teen!!!!!!" "Rob sounding great. Love that song." "So good! I love how they switch up their set to include deep cuts." It's great that they branch out to include some deeper cuts in the set. The fans who know those tracks will really appreciate it. It's always great to see your favorite song at a show!🎬SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox🎬 Legendary '80s Metal Band Performs Fan-Favorite for First Time in 20 Years: 'Sounding Great' first appeared on Parade on Jun 18, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jun 18, 2025, where it first appeared.

'Hamilton' Star Anthony Ramos Calls Out Iconic Singer For Bad Broadway Behavior

'Hamilton' Star Anthony Ramos Calls Out Iconic Singer For Bad Broadway Behavior originally appeared on Parade. Hamilton star is bringing up some past bad behavior on Broadway — and calling out a musician who came to see the show over a decade ago. During an appearance on Watch What Happens Live, Ramos was asked about the most "terrifying" celebrity to spot in the audience while appearing in Hamilton and he didn't hesitate to say . Back in 2015, the iconic singer infamously attended the show — and was allegedly on her phone during some of the performance, making her stand out to everyone on stage. "The most terrifying was Madonnawith her iPad in her face. She was like this the whole time,' Ramossaid, while looking down and shining a light directly on his face. He continued, "I was like, 'Damn, shorty. If you're not enjoying it that much, you know the door is right there. You don't have to stay here.'" 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 It's not the first time that Madonna's poor Broadway etiquette has been brought up by a Hamilton star. Shortly after she attended the show, Lin-Manuel Miranda tweeted and deleted a message about a famous audience member who had been on their phone — and many believe it was aimed at Madonna. 'Tonight was the first time I asked stage management NOT to allow a celebrity (who was texting all through Act 2) backstage. #noselfieforyou," Miranda wrote at the time. Jonathan Groff also spoke out about the incident, alleging that Madonna had been on her phone throughout the performance. "You couldn't miss it from the stage,' Groff said in a 2015 interview. "It was a black void of the audience in front of us and her face there perfectly lit by the light of her iPhone through three-quarters of the show." Since then, Madonna's rep has shut down the allegations, telling Us Weekly, "It's not true. She was invited backstage four different times. She texted post show when they were doing their fundraising pitch. Madonna had already made a generous donation." You can hear all that Anthony Ramos had to say below.

Music Icon's Baffling Post Debunked as Fans Continue to React

Music Icon's Baffling Post Debunked as Fans Continue to React originally appeared on Parade. No, Britney Spears has not adopted a baby girl. And, no, she isn't moving to Italy, either — according to TMZ. Both claims were made in a confusing Instagram post that Spears shared on July 12. "I haven't worked out in years so I put this little pink one piece on and PLAYED !!! How are you beautiful people this morning ??? I need coffee and I want to let you guys know I adopted a beautiful baby girl !!! Her name is Lennon London Spears!!!" Spears captioned the post, which included a video of herself dancing in a pink leotard. "This is 30 seconds of my random silly workout !! I hate working out but 3 hours of my footage was all stolen !!! It kinda hurt my stomach to see it disappear because well I sweat my ass off and had a white jacket on !!! Lennon today has on adorable dress!!! It says I'm NEW HERE !!! SO PLEASE STOP TALKING TRASH AMERICA !!! I've decided to move to Italy," Spears added. Within the post, she included plenty of winking face emoji as well as silly face emoji, perhaps suggesting that she was joking around. A few hours later, TMZ reported that Spears' post was nothing more than her being playful. 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 Meanwhile, Spears fans have taken to Reddit to discuss the post, with many of her longtime fans quickly realizing that Spears was having some online fun and that her post likely wasn't serious. "I think it's a reborn baby doll, i think i remember her posting them randomly on her page," one person wrote. "Britney trolling the media continues to be the most entertaining form of justice," someone else said. Spears hasn't been shy about her desire to have another baby and has consistently said that she'd love to have a daughter. However, this particular post appears to be a stream of consciousness and nothing more.
