Judas Priest Says Ozzy OsbourneWar Pigs’ Duet Is Nearly Ready for Release

Sharon Osbourne prompted the pre-death session featuring Osbourne trading lines with Rob Halford.

Overview

  • Rob Halford confirmed on the Full Metal Jackie podcast that the finished track is “waiting in the wings” as artwork and legal clearance wrap up.
  • The recording is an alternating-line duet, with Osbourne and Halford each singing successive lines of the Black Sabbath classic.
  • The performance was captured before Osbourne’s death on July 22, and the band has not set a release date.
  • Judas Priest previously issued their own version of “War Pigs” on July 2 without Osbourne.
  • No posthumous musical releases from Osbourne have been issued so far, making this anticipated cut a likely first.
