"Metal gods in Berlin last night! Thanks for all your support, " the post reads
Not for the first time, frontman Rob Gelford and his team express solidarity with the Ukrainian people. This time, in addition to an emotional gesture, the rockers also prepared a financial surprise for their fans.
New fundraising campaign
Judas Priest not only supports Ukraine with words, but also with actions. As part of the new phase of the fundraising campaign, fans were invited to make a donation and receive a special surprise from the band in return. This was another proof that metal legends are standing next to Ukrainians in their struggle.
Many years of love for Ukraine
Relations between Judas Priest and Ukraine are not new. The band first performed in Kyiv almost 20 years ago and since then has repeatedly returned to Ukrainian soil. In recent years, the band's connection with Ukraine has only strengthened: Rob Gelford even received a stylish black embroidered jacket as a gift from a Ukrainian fan, which he proudly displayed on social networks.
Support in conditions of war
After the 2022 concert was postponed due to the pandemic, the band was unable to perform due to hostilities. But this did not become an obstacle to support. Gelford and his colleagues have repeatedly condemned Russia's aggression and expressed their support for the Ukrainian people in these difficult times.
Conclusions and the future
Judas Priest continues to be a symbol of strength and support for Ukrainians. Their actions do not go unnoticed, and this move only strengthens the bond between the band and their fans in Ukraine. Fans are looking forward to new surprises and support from metal legends.
