The sinceresT DreAms Do come true
Most groups’ initial draw to
impersonating a band is a love for the
original. For some, just singing the

has to be perfect. Tim Owens, 29, is one

that the ultimate dream of a tribute
band member can come true.

In 1993, the real Judas Priest
decided to re-form and record
another album, but their lead singer
— the real Rob Halford — had left the

performances was sent to the band by
two Judas Priest fans and after a live
audition, in which Owens sang only
