KK Downing Solo

KK Downing, Ex-guitarist of Judas Priest who retired on the 20th April 2011, playing a amazing solo. KK downing said this on his website: "Dear friends, It is with much regret that I will not be with you this summer. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your concerns about my health. Please rest assured that I am O.K. There has been an ongoing breakdown in working relationship between myself, elements of the band, and the band's management for some time. Therefore I have decided to step down rather than to tour with negative sentiments as I feel that this would be a deception to you, our cherished fans. However I would urge you to please support the Priest as I have no doubt that it will be a show not to be missed. All my love and respect," (http://www.kkdowning.net/home.html) And on Judas priests website they said (Wednesday, April 20, 2011) "It is with regret that Judas Priest announce that K.K. DOWNING has formally retired from the band and will therefore not be joining them on their forthcoming EPITAPH Tour. The band respect his decision and naturally all wish him well."
