War Pigs (Charity Version): Judas Priest and Ozzy Osbourne Join Forces for Parkinson's Research
Judas Priest's iconic track "War Pigs" has been a fan favorite at their live shows for years. The band has now released a new version of the song featuring vocals from the legendary Ozzy Osbourne, recorded before his passing. This special collaboration is for a noble cause, with all proceeds from the song's streams, downloads, and sales going to The Glenn Tipton Parkinson’s Foundation and Cure Parkinson’s.
The members of Judas Priest have a personal connection to Parkinson's disease, as guitarist Glenn Tipton was diagnosed with the condition in 2008. Tipton shared his diagnosis with fans in 2018 when he announced he would no longer be touring with the band. Ozzy Osbourne, another titan of metal, also revealed his own Parkinson's diagnosis in 2020, further highlighting the importance of supporting research and treatment for the disease.
In the wake of Ozzy Osbourne's passing in July, Judas Priest is honoring his memory by releasing the "War Pigs (Charity Version)" collaboration. The band is dedicated to raising awareness and funds for Parkinson's research through this special release. Fans can listen to the new version of the song on all major music platforms starting this Friday. For more information about the charity version of "War Pigs," visit JudasPriest.com.
In conclusion, Judas Priest's charitable initiative to release a new version of "War Pigs" featuring Ozzy Osbourne's vocals is a powerful tribute to both the music legends and the cause they are supporting. By donating all profits to Parkinson's foundations, the band is making a meaningful impact in the fight against the disease. Fans can show their support by listening to the song and contributing to this important cause.
