Well, I have to agree with you on that. Rob was extremely professional as always and put on a hell of a show Tuesday. But I could see it in his performance because I know how he is on stage - he was not the same as in Cleveland two days earlier when he was talking to the crowd a lot. No one else at the show Tuesday would have ever picked up on it, but he was not himself. When he looked over at me and my husband in the front row screaming our heads off in support and seeing our Halford banner, he was genuinely thankful. It was a hard show for him in the beginning, I could tell he was down. But he won the crowd over and he came back to being himself. I'm sure he had no idea what he was walking in to in that arena, anything could have happened. I'm just so glad we were there and that my home town gave him such a great reaction. This was not Rob's doing, I can tell you that much! He is not a man that is ready to retire, not now anyway. I think it was really shitty of the announcement to happen when he is touring, especially the day of a performance!

I do find it interesting that the announcement came out in the midde of Rob's 'Halford' project touring.
[And NO - I am NOT accusing him or JP mgmt of anything ... this is just an observation.]
Not that it will hurt his draw or anything ... just interesting timing (as I continue to sit here pondering this whole ordeal).
(Kind of reminds me of when Mike Holmgren announced he was leaving Green Bay for Seattle ... WHILE the Packers were still playing and still had play-off hopes)
It's allllllllllllllllllllllll about the delivery ...
