@ Danimal - I didn’t know Rob had a hip replacement. Yes, that will reduce his height.

I remember the Judas Priest song entitled ‘Breaking The Law’, a copy of which I found in a newsagents which sold old jukebox singles. It was such a fast, fun song!

Rob gets 6ft and a quarter of an inch for his peak and an inch less today.

He looks to be struggling with 5ft11 today. Peak had to have been at least 6ft. Genuinely could appear 6ft3 on stage!

Was 5'11"-6'0". Today at 66 years old and having had a full hip replacement and back surgery in the last couple of years, he has lost height. He's no more than 5'10" today.

He's lost noticeable height since his hip replacement and back surgery surgery. He was taller than his guitarist Richie Faulkner pre hip replacement/back surgery and is now shorter than him. Wouldn't be surprised if he's struggling with 5'10" these days. In his prime, he was easily 6'0" tall.

Seems to have lost height since his hip replacement (looks to be about 5'10" today). WAS taller than 5'11.5" Jimmy Fallon in 2011 though (could have been his boots though).

I could have swore he was almost 7 ft tall! Though, as friends pointed out, he was standing on stairs when I met him @ Larry's Hideaway. BTW, he was very kind, he had donated his leather jacket for auction for band-aid, and showed up to personally give it to the lucky winner!!! Class act all the way, and I'm not even a big fan.

He's 60 years old now and there was a picture of him with John Cena a little while ago floating around and Rob is shorter than Cena today and Cena is somewhere between 6'0" and 6'1". So, I think Rob has dipped below 6'0" today at 60 years of age, but in his younger days, he was definitely a solid 6'0".

I agree with Danimal. He's an easy 6'0. His shoes on stage used to be around about 2 inch heels so i can see why you thought he was 6'2. 175cm is not possible.

I'm 5' 11" and he was taller than me in boots, at least, which did not have really big heels maybe 1 inch. He looked like a six footer to me.

Total 100% crap. I've known Rob for 30+ years and he isn't 6 feet tall. Mate, you need to get his boots.

I agree Glenn. 5'4" must have been an illusion. As you've said many times, you've seen plenty of strange illusions regarding celebrities heights.
5'5" for Bruce. No more, no less. There's no way a 5'6.5" man's head would ever come up around my eyebrows unless I was wearing lifts which I wasn't. I'm 5'7.75" and I just can't see him being only about an inch shorter than me.
5'5" fits the 5'4" and 5'6.5" sightings. It's also what he usually looks as you said.

Halford does wear huge boots at times though.

The short guy whose head comes about up to his nose is 5'5" Bruce Dickinson.
I've met Bruce and he looked 5'4" in person but Glenn usually sees him at 5'5" so I'll give him that height. 5'5" max though.
While Rob's boots are enormous he isn't a candidate for lifts like Bruce. Bruce is wearing chunky shoes and at 5'5" it wouldn't be surprising if he did wear them. Halford on the other hand at 6 foot would have no reason to wear lifts, especially with thick boots like those.

Halford ftw!
not even a fan of Judas Priest, but i do love all his FIGHT albums, epic stuff.
looks an easy 6'1 in that image (boots?), 6'0 sounds right, does not strike me like an average height man really.

Rob is also around 60 years old now, so he may have been even taller in the 1970's-1980's. I give him a peak of minimum 6'1"

I have two pictures with Tim "Ripper Owens" the singer who replaced Rob Halford in Judas Priest in 1997. He looked 5'10" in person but strangely 5'11" in one of my pictures and atleast 6 ft in the other with me. He's probably 5'10" tough.

He's 56 actually :) born on August 25, 1951 (1951-08-25) (age 56)
I also thought he was taller than that... at least a solid 6 footer. I guess he appears to be taller because of the 'boots' he's wearing lately. There was a ROCK HONORS and Judas was there as well as KISS and Rob wasn't that much shorter than Paul Stanley (who was wearing his classic 7-8 inches boots)...
Well, there you have it... he still the METAL GOD... I just saw them on the "Metal Masters Tour" and he ROCKED!!!

Danimal:
You know the guy has that Norman shaped head & body, that gives the impression of being taller, with such a long limbs and "leptoprosopo" kind face (long faced). I always think he was a bit under 5'11, then that makes Glenn Tipton at least 6' as he always was taller than Rob. Glenn gave him a six feet max,but anyway he had always more than 1 inch on Rob.
Rob takes a lot of care of his image,when the group poses Tipon is bending his body or supporting his back against a wall,the same goes for Travis wich being he 2 metres is a more stunning case. Check this:
