Judas Priest Launch Glenn Tipton Parkinson’s Foundation to Honor Guitarist

Judas Priest have launched the Glenn Tipton Parkinson’s Foundation, named after the heavy metal act’s guitarist who announced that he had been battling the disease for a decade prior to their Firepower Tour.

“It was the band that suggested we start a foundation which, although in my name, is really a Judas Priest foundation,” Tipton said in a statement.

All proceeds from the foundation will benefit a “pioneering new treatment called MR guided focused ultrasound thalamotomy which although in its early stages has already had great success with a Parkinson’s related condition called essential tremor,” Tipton wrote. MORE
