While Chris Jericho is primarily known for his very lengthy career in professional wrestling, he has been a part of the FOZZY rock band for over 22 years now.
After 8 album releases and his 22 years with the band, Chris Jericho posts that after all of the cut downs and insults that they have received, FOZZY can finally celebrate the fact that their song 'Judas' now has earned a RIAA gold record for over 500 thousand units sold.

FOZZY released the song 'Judas' back in 2017, and Chris Jericho began using the song as his entrance music in wrestling a couple of years following that release. Now, the song is is wildly popular amongst wrestling fans as it has been an absolute hit for them to sing along too. This being proven when an AEW stipulation took away his ability to use the song for a match against MJF in August of 2021, and the fans made sure that it wasn't a silent walk down.

While 'Judas' has finally hit 500 thousand units purchased, it still has some great YouTube numbers, as the official music video to the song currently has over 57 million views.
In early December 2021, FOZZY had to cancel dates on their European tour due to Jericho being hospitalized with a non-COVID related illness.
