You may have heard Judas Priest announce recently their 2011-12 Epitaph world tour would be the last… ever. The roadtrip will end, but fortunately, not the band. In fact, Priest is working on a new album right now.
 
Checking the official Judas Priest website, we found the message – “The guys are working together on writing new material – all is going really well”.
 
In another post, Guitarist Glenn Tipton also explained further his group’s future plans: “To put everyone’s mind at rest, this is by no means the end of the band. In fact, we are presently writing new material, but we do intend this to be the last major world tour.”
 
The Epitaph world tour begins June 7th in Eindhaar, Tilburg, Holland.
