Metal legends Judas Priest have announced the rescheduled dates for the North American leg of their 50 Heavy Metal Years Tour that will feature support from Queensryche.
The band was forced to postpone the original trek back in September after guitarist Richie Faulkner suffered an acute cardiac aortic dissection during their performance at the Louder Than Life Festival in Louisville, KY.
They said of the postponed dates, "It is with deep regret that we have to postpone the rest of our US Tour. Richie has major medical heart condition issues which have landed him in hospital where he is being treated - in the meantime we are all sending love to our Falcon to wish him a speedy recovery...
