Black Country heavy metal legends Judas Priest have appeared on American Idol with their new guitarist Richie Faulkner.
The band were joined by contestant James Durbin as they powered through two of their classics, Living After Midnight and Breaking The Law.
It is the first chance for fans to see the new line-up since guitarist KK Downing quit the band in April, just months ahead of the band’s Epitaph “farewell” tour.
Judas Priest play Wolverhampton Civic Hall on July 21 and the High Voltage Festival in London on July 23.
