According to Halford, shortly after that first cover came out, Ozzy\u2019s wife\/manager Sharon Osbourne reached out offering new vocal tracks from her husband.<\/p>\n Halford told Full Metal Jackie earlier this month<\/a>: \u201cShe approached me with this idea, she said, \u2018I love your version of War Pigs. Is there a way we can get Ozzy?\u2019 I was [like], \u2018You\u2019re asking me? This is gonna happen!\u2019<\/p>\n \u201cSo, you get Ozzy singing a line and then I\u2019m singing a line and Ozzy\u2019s singing a line and I\u2019m singing a line. It\u2019s the first ever time in my entire life that I\u2019ve been able to do a duet with Ozzy and I\u2019m so eternally grateful and blessed that I was able to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n All proceeds from the new War Pigs cover will go to the charities Cure Parkinson\u2019s and The Glenn Tipton Parkinson\u2019s Foundation. Ozzy was diagnosed with Parkinson\u2019s disease in 2019, and Priest guitarist Glenn Tipton was diagnosed with the disease in 2008. Priest launched The Glenn Tipton Parkinson\u2019s Foundation in his honour in 2018. Due to his condition, Tipton has stepped back from touring full-time, but he has made appearances during the encores of several of their concerts.<\/p>\n Priest released their first War Pigs cover to pay tribute to Ozzy in the lead-up to the vocalist\u2019s retirement concert Back To The Beginning<\/a>, which took place at Villa Park \u2013 near where he grew up in Aston, Birmingham \u2013 on July 5. Priest were one of the few veteran metal bands to not play at the star-studded event, and Halford explained to Hammer<\/a> that it was due to a clash with the 60th-anniversary celebrations for German hard rockers Scorpions, which they were booked to play on the same day.<\/p>\n Ozzy died at the age of 76 on July 22, 17 days after Back To The Beginning, following a heart attack. Priest offered their condolences via social media<\/a>, saying, \u201cSharon, may God surround you and your beautiful family with love, peace and light. Ozzy, you will never leave us.\u201d<\/p>\n The band played a concert in Scarborough, UK the day after Ozzy\u2019s death and added a tribute to him to their stage show, putting his face on the video backdrop during the song Giants In The Sky.<\/p>\n Two documentaries about Ozzy\u2019s final years, where he dealt with the effects of his Parkinson\u2019s and multiple spinal surgeries, will be released next month. An hour-long programme called Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home<\/a> will be broadcast by the BBC on October 2, and the two-hour film Ozzy: No Escape From Now<\/a> comes out via Paramount Plus on October 7. The singer\u2019s second autobiography, Last Rites, will also come out on October 7.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission.
