Judas Priest singer Rob Halford on Monday (June 14) revealed that he is now officially recognized as a Kentucky Colonel by the Bluegrass State, the highest title of honor bestowed by Kentucky's governor.
The English musician who's known as the "Metal God" divulged as much in a photo on Instagram, the rocker proudly brandishing a certificate denoting his new designation. It's signed by Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear and Sec. of State Michael Adams, and it confers to the longtime Judas Priest vocalist and frequent solo artist the honor of Kentucky Colonel "with all the rights, privileges and responsibilities thereunto appertaining."
