Iconic heavy metal band Judas Priest announces imminent collaboration with Ozzy Osbourne.
In an exciting turn of events for rock music fans worldwide, heavy metal legends Judas Priest have collaborated with the iconic Ozzy Osbourne on a rendition of Black Sabbath's "War Pigs." This collaboration took place before Osbourne's tragic passing on July 22, at the age of 76, weeks after his retirement concert.
Rob Halford, Judas Priest's frontman, revealed the collaboration during an interview on the Full Metal Jackie Podcast. He described the collaboration as "colossal" and stated that the duet version of "War Pigs" is "waiting in the wings" to be shared with the world.
The collaboration sees Halford and Osbourne trading lines, with each singer taking turns on the iconic track. Judas Priest had already performed "War Pigs" live numerous times, but the addition of Osbourne's distinctive vocals promises to make this version more exciting for fans.
The news of this collaboration was first reported by Loudwire. While the exact release date is yet to be announced, the duet version of "War Pigs" is currently being finalized for release. Judas Priest is working through necessary legal steps to ensure the official release of the duet.
Sharon Osbourne, Ozzy's wife, is the person responsible for initiating the collaboration and holds responsibility for the final release of the Judas Priest and Ozzy Osbourne duet on the song "War Pigs."
Judas Priest shared their cover of "War Pigs" on July 2, days before Osbourne's farewell concert. Unfortunately, Judas Priest was unable to attend the concert due to a prior commitment. Following Osbourne's death, Judas Priest paid tribute to the legendary singer on social media.
In other news, Judas Priest will be embarking on a North American co-headlining tour with Alice Cooper from September 16 to October 26. Fans can expect an electrifying live performance from both bands, promising a night of unforgettable rock music.
