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.
