According to an announcement on Tuesday, "The members of Judas Priest were very pleased to donate $100,000 US to the LAFD before their show at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles on Sunday, October 19th 2025."
"This was a contribution from the band to help the people who suffered damage due to the recent fires," a statement read. "The members of Judas Priest are pictured here meeting with six of the fire fighters when the band presented them with the check."

The news comes shortly after Judas Priest released a version of Black Sabbath's "War Pigs" -- featuring the late Ozzy Osbourne -- for charity.
"This historic rendition of the Black Sabbath classic was released today, with all profits donated to The Glenn Tipton Parkinson’s Foundation and Cure Parkinson’s," they said. "Get it HERE."
"This emotionally charged release unites the titans of British heavy metal one last time in a project born from friendship, mutual respect and a shared mission to fight Parkinson’s disease - a cause close to the hearts of both bands. Initially conceived as a tribute video for Ozzy and Black Sabbath after Judas Priest were unable to join them at the Aston Villa show due to prior commitments with The Scorpions’ 60th Anniversary show in Hannover the project quickly grew in purpose and power."
"When Judas Priest suggested turning the tribute into a full-blown charity single, the idea struck a chord with Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne. With Glenn Tipton contributing guitars despite his ongoing battle with Parkinson’s and Rob Halford and Ozzy Osbourne trading alternate vocal lines, the result is a raw, soaring, and poignant version of the iconic 'War Pigs.'"
"A collaboration between the icons @judaspriest and @ozzyosbourne. All profits of Sony Music Entertainment UK Ltd and Epic Records in the UK from audio streams, downloads, and physical sales of the recording ‘War Pigs (Charity Version)’ will be donated to The Glenn Tipton Parkinson’s Foundation and Cure Parkinson’s."
