The track was initially conceived as a tribute video for Osbourne and Black Sabbath before the band suggested turning it into a charity single. Osbourne and his fellow original Black Sabbath members, Tony Iommi, Terence "Geezer" Butler and Bill Ward, were the last to appear on stage as part of a star-studded line-up for the Back To The Beginning concert in July. Among the other bands performing were Anthrax, Metallica and Guns N'Roses. Osbourne's widow Sharon and children Aimee, Jack and Kelly visited floral tributes laid at Black Sabbath bridge following his death on 22 July in a cortege that weaved through the streets of his home city. Judas Priest's rendition of the Black Sabbath classic was released on Friday with all profits donated to the Glenn Tipton Parkinson's Foundation and Cure Parkinson's.
