===Live appearances=== [[File:Robhalford03.jpg|thumb|upright|Halford often rides a motorcycle onstage.]] Halford performed as the vocalist for [[Black Sabbath]] for three shows. He replaced [[Ronnie James Dio]] for two nights in November 1992, when Dio elected not to open a show for [[Ozzy Osbourne]]. Halford also filled in for Osbourne in Black Sabbath on 26 August 2004 (one day after Halford's 53rd birthday) at an [[Ozzfest]] show in [[Camden, New Jersey]], since Osbourne could not perform due to [[bronchitis]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/ozzy-osbourne-replaced-by-rob-halford-at-black-sabbath-s-camden-gig|title=Ozzy Osbourne Replaced By Rob Halford at Black Sabbath's Camden Gig|website=Blabbermouth.net|date=26 August 2004|access-date=1 February 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160227083539/http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/ozzy-osbourne-replaced-by-rob-halford-at-black-sabbath-s-camden-gig|archive-date=27 February 2016|url-status=live}}</ref> Halford joined [[Sum 41]] on stage in 2001 for a televised concert for MTV's 20th anniversary with drummer [[Tommy Lee]] to perform "[[You've Got Another Thing Comin']]" as the final song of a [[Medley (music)|medley]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://loudwire.com/rob-halford-tommy-lee-broke-sum-41/|title = The Night Rob Halford + Tommy Lee Broke Sum 41|website = [[Loudwire]]| date=10 March 2021 }}</ref> Halford joined [[Metallica]] on stage three times where they performed the song "Rapid Fire"; in 1994 on the last date of the [[Shit Hits the Sheds Tour]], in 2011 at [[The Fillmore]] for the band's 30th anniversary celebration and in 2013 at the fifth annual [[Revolver (magazine)|Revolver]] Golden Gods awards in Los Angeles.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.blabbermouth.net/news/video-rob-halford-joins-metallica-on-stage-for-judas-priest-classic/|title=Video: Rob Halford Joins Metallica on Stage for Judas Priest Classic|work=[[Blabbermouth.net]]|date=3 May 2013|access-date=3 May 2013}}</ref> Halford joined [[Pantera]] on stage twice.
