Celebrities don't know more than anyone else and in many cases seem to know less.  Some of the responses by celebrities I've seen seem to be off the wall.  But Halford is trying to be positive and practical and that seems preferable to the alternative.  A good example, IMO.

Robbie has always been a sensible man. And for all the tattoos, sartorial flamboyance und alternative lifestyle: very, very British "keep calm und carry on".

I always liked the fact that the minute he gets off stage, he has the air of a Birmingham grammar school teacher to him.

He's always had something of a talkshow host to him, that set him apart from other heavy metal front men who were more the chest beating type. Halford always has a twinkle in his eye - you have to, given JP's brand of escapist comic strip lyrics populated by sinners, rippers, exciters, hellions, jawbreakers, metallians, sentinels, painkillers and angels of retribution etc. It would be unbearable if he took this stuff serious - you'd be in Manowar territory then.
