At the end of July, John Baxter - Rob Halford's manager - posted on his website that there was a lot of bullshit going on within the Priest camp, referencing Glenn Tipton as the decision maker and Jayne Andrews as a "leach" and Glenn's "amateur thug".
The post was quickly deleted and Rob distanced himself from it while Priest (ie, Jayne) issued a statement that they would allow the courts to settle it all.
Umm. What?
The story has largely only been picked up in Europe, appearing in various publications with several stating that Jayne lives with Glenn. I am unsure if this is a translation issue but there have always been rumours...
As I said before, I do not think Jayne Andrews should be attacked because she is a woman in a male-dominated industry. However, if she is doing a shit job, she's fair game.
Anything posted about this whole issue is being censored so it is all very odd.
It is also incredibly sad to see this happen to one of my favourite bands. First KK left after citing management and personnel issues and now Rob's manager is citing management and personnel issues too...
We will probably never know the truth of what is actually going on.
I do feel that Priest's management need to take a step back and let the band do what they do best without issuing so many statements.
I mean, today is Rob's 60th birthday and the Facebook birthday wish from the band was signed Glenn, Ian, Scott, Richie and Jayne...
What?!!
