Judas Priest frontman Rob Halford is planning to “expose every facet” of himself with a tell-all autobiography titled Confess in September.
Although the iconic metal legend of Judas Priest earlier revealed that he had the book in the works late last year, the upcoming release date has been set for September 29th of this year.
In an initial statment, Halford admitted that he wouldn’t be holding anything back for his tell-all autobiography Confess, stating that the book “is a unique, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity” for him to be able to “expose every facet” of himself.
“Digging deep with nothing to hid and nothing to fear was in many ways exciting, fun, disturbing, terrifying, and cathartic,” he detailed. “I’ve held nothing back. It’s time for me to Confess.”
The new autobiography will encompass the entirety of both Halford’s career with Judas Priest, as well as his life, including his decision in 1998 to publicly come out as gay, plus his hiatus from the iconic metal collective from 1992 to 2003.

The autobiography rights have been acquired by Headlining Publishing in the UK, and will be released on September 29th through Hachette Books.
On the topic of the iconic musicians book, publishing director Sarah Emsley noted that she has “a real passion for warts-and-all, career-spanning autobiographies from icons of the music world,” stating that Halford’s life story “is truly incredible.” Emsley ended with: “Covering seven action-packed decades, the early material from Confess is stunning.”
Rob Halford’s new book Confess will be out on September 29th, with pre-orders available now in both digital and physical copy through Amazon.
