Judas Priest’s Rob Halford on ‘The Simpsons’: Promo Images Released

January 2, 2014

Legendary Judas Priest singer Rob Halford wil be featured in this Sunday’s new episode of “The Simpsons” on Fox. The episode will also star Will Arnett, director Judd Apatow, and the actors most present in his films: Leslie Mann, Paul Rudd and Seth Rogen.

Simpsons executive producer Matt Selman told Entertainment Weekly that during ”Steal This Episode,” Bart teaches his father Homer how to illegally download films. When he then starts screening the films in his backyard for folks in Springfield, a mad-dog FBI director in charge of anti-piracy goes after Homer.

“Even though Homer is stealing, he’s doing it for the community, he’s doing it out of the goodness of his heart,” says Selman.

Halford’s guest spot reportedly includes a parody of the Judas Priest classic “Breaking The Law,” of course, in an effort to cuff Homer.

Check out promo shots from the episode below, and tune in this Sunday, Jan. 5th for the episode.
