🎸 Happy 73rd Birthday to Judas Priest’s Legendary Bassist Ian Hill! 🥁🎂

Today, the world of heavy metal raises its horns in honor of one of its most enduring and influential figures — Ian Hill, founding member and longtime bassist of Judas Priest, who celebrates his 73rd birthday!

As the only remaining original member of Judas Priest since the band’s formation in 1969, Hill has been the quiet powerhouse behind some of the genre’s most iconic anthems. From “Breaking the Law” and “Living After Midnight” to “Painkiller” and “Electric Eye”, Hill’s thunderous bass lines have provided the relentless foundation for the band’s unmistakable sound — heavy, tight, and ahead of its time.

💬 “Ian’s the backbone,” said frontman Rob Halford in a recent interview. “He may not always be in the spotlight, but he’s been the heartbeat of Priest from day one.”

Known for his solid finger-style playing and stage-left stance, Hill has never sought attention, yet his consistent groove, loyalty, and musical integrity are part of what made Judas Priest a global metal institution. Across five decades, Hill has played on every Judas Priest album and performed in thousands of shows around the world, helping define and evolve the sound of British heavy metal.

Beyond the music, Ian Hill is admired for his humility, professionalism, and deep respect for the band’s fans. As Judas Priest prepares for its final global tour, “One Last Roar”, fans are more grateful than ever for Hill’s lasting contributions.

🎉 Happy Birthday, Ian! May your low-end thunder ring on for years to come.
