Sony Music proudly announces the release of “War Pigs – Charity Version”, a monumental collaboration between Ozzy Osbourne and legendary heavy metal pioneers Judas Priest. This powerful reimagining of the Black Sabbath classic is available now, with all proceeds benefiting The Glenn Tipton Parkinson’s Foundation and Cure Parkinson’s. [Listen/Get it HERE].
A Historic Collaboration With Purpose
What began as a simple tribute video quickly evolved into something much bigger. Judas Priest originally planned a video tribute to Ozzy and Black Sabbath after being unable to join them at the Aston Villa show due to prior commitments with The Scorpions’ 60th Anniversary in Hannover. Instead, the idea transformed into a full-scale charity single—embraced wholeheartedly by Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne.
The result is a once-in-a-lifetime recording that unites two of heavy metal’s greatest forces. With Glenn Tipton contributing guitars despite his ongoing battle with Parkinson’s, and Rob Halford and Ozzy Osbourne trading soaring vocal lines, this rendition of “War Pigs” delivers raw emotion, unshakable power, and a shared call to action.
Fighting Parkinson’s Through Music
The collaboration is more than just music—it’s a mission. All profits from Sony Music Entertainment UK Ltd and Epic Records UK from streams, downloads, and physical sales of “War Pigs (Charity Version)” will go directly to supporting The Glenn Tipton Parkinson’s Foundation and Cure Parkinson’s.
This emotionally charged release stands as a testament to friendship, mutual respect, and the heavy metal community’s power to make a difference.
