KK has decided to quit the band and retire earlier as he's sick of touring ?.

Can't say I blame him, he'll be 60 this year and he's been with Priest for a long time.

Very surprising. You'd think he would want to hang in there for the last go around. That will put a damper on the festivities for long time fans.

Apparently, there seems to be some discord between KK and some members of the band and management.
The British Steel 30th tour would have been a good high note to exit on.
Odd to think of Priest without KK :|

I died a little inside when I found this out... I saved money for stubs to see these guys play... It won't be the same without K.K
