OZZY OSBOURNE, JUDAS PRIEST TEAM ON “WAR PIGS” FOR PARKINSON’S CHARITIES
The release and the cause
Judas Priest have unveiled a “War Pigs” duet with Ozzy Osbourne, channeling the Black Sabbath classic to raise funds for Parkinson’s organizations. The collaboration arrives as Osbourne, who has publicly discussed his Parkinson’s diagnosis, scales back touring but continues selective studio work. The metal veterans frame the single as a community effort—uniting artists, fans and philanthropies around a disease that touches millions of families.
Fan reception and next steps
Early reaction from the rock community has been enthusiastic, with streaming and radio adds expected to drive donations. Organizers say proceeds will go to multiple Parkinson’s groups, with transparency updates planned as the campaign unfolds. The track also highlights metal’s long tradition of re-interpreting canon songs for contemporary causes, giving classic riffs a new purpose while connecting generations of listeners.
