Judas Priest Bassist Ian Hill Announces Retirement From Band Citing Battle With ‘Evil Arthritis’

The group's longest-serving member will be replaced by the bass player from fellow British hard rockers Uriah Heep.

Judas Priest bassist Ian Hill announced his retirement from the British heavy metal group on Friday morning (Oct. 9), effective immediately. In a message to fans on Instagram, the band lamented the loss of its longest-serving member, writing, “It is with heavy hearts that we are sending out this personal message from our Ian….he has been the backbone of Judas Priest for so long and will be greatly missed by us all.”

The post also contained a lengthy personal message from Hill, 75, who opened by describing his answer to the frequent question of how long he could continue with the band he joined with his childhood friend, guitarist K.K. Downing, in 1970, a year after original vocalist Al Atkins founded the “Breaking the Law” group in Birmingham, England.
