All proceeds to be donated to The Glenn Tipton Parkinson’s Foundation & Cure Parkinson’s
Sony Music is proud to announce the release of “War Pigs – Charity Version” featuring Ozzy Osbourne in collaboration with globally revered rock icons Judas Priest. This historic rendition of the Black Sabbath classic will see all profits donated to The Glenn Tipton Parkinson’s Foundation and Cure Parkinson’s.
This emotionally charged release unites the titans of British heavy metal one last time in a project born from friendship, mutual respect, and a shared mission to fight Parkinson’s disease – a cause close to the hearts of both bands. Initially conceived as a tribute video for Ozzy and Black Sabbath after Judas Priest could not join them at the Aston Villa show due to prior commitments with The Scorpions’ 60th Anniversary show in Hannover, the project quickly grew in purpose and power.
When Judas Priest suggested turning the tribute into a full-blown charity single, Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne were intrigued. Glenn Tipton contributed guitars despite his ongoing battle with Parkinson’s, and Rob Halford and Ozzy Osbourne traded alternate vocal lines. The result is a raw, soaring, and poignant version of the iconic “War Pigs.”
