I was thinking about it today, and friction over Halford could well be the cause. too bad because without Glen, Ian, Kk and whichever drummer he has never managed to come close to matching the work he does with priest.

Anyone who knows me knows I'm as heartbroken and disappointed as anyone about the 'big news'. However, I believe in my heart that there are two reasons that JP is calling it quits. I have no proof to offer to back what I believe, but I believe none the less...
1. There are health issue(s).
2. Rob's solo project(s).
They're not kids anymore. They're teetering on 70 years old!! It already takes them 3-5 years to put out an album and with Rob insisting on taking time to do his solo work, that adds a couple of years. Those are very important years at that age group. If there's health issues (remember the start of the last tour??), that's just too much time in between.
Being a part of JP is a full time job, not part-time. If all 5 are not willing to put the time in, then I agree, what's the point. Not having a record deal or not having new material are certainly NOT reasons for the end of JP, far from it. Health and dedication are (IMHO) are why we are seeing the end the way we are seeing it.
A sad way to end the legacy of the greatest Heavy Metal band ever.
