Judas Priest gave a big metal thank you to their fans on twitter:
A huge metal thank you to our Priest family for voting & defending Judas Priest in the fan vote for RRHoF 2020 – we made and stayed in the top five fan votes through your love and support.
Whatever the outcome we are blessed having the best metal fans in the world of heavy metal!— Judas Priest (@judaspriest) January 11, 2020
