A new version of the Black Sabbath classic War Pigs has been released today. Featuring a collaboration between Judas Priest and Ozzy Osbourne, the song, released by Sony Music, is supporting The Glenn Tipton Parkinson’s Foundation and Cure Parkinson’s.
Initially conceived as a tribute video for Ozzy and Black Sabbath after Judas Priest were unable to 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, the idea struck a chord with Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne.
With Glenn Tipton contributing guitars despite his ongoing battle with Parkinson’s and Rob Halford and Ozzy Osbourne trading alternate vocal lines, the result is a raw, soaring, and poignant version of the iconic song.
All profits of Sony Music Entertainment UK Ltd and Epic Records in the UK from audio streams, downloads, and physical sales of the recording War Pigs (Charity Version) will be donated to The Glenn Tipton Parkinson’s Foundation and Cure Parkinson’s.
War Pigs (Charity Version) is available from judaspriest.lnk.to/WarPigsCharity
