Shit happens on tour. Whether a musician has a medical emergency or freaks out over bad catering, bands have been forced to smuggle last-minute replacements onstage for an emergency gig. <\/p>\n
Rob Halford<\/strong> singing for Black Sabbath<\/strong>? Dave Lombardo<\/strong> drumming for Metallica<\/strong>? It’s happened\u2026 and only a small number of fans get to boast that they saw it live. Check out these last-minute replacements who absolutely crushed it when another band needed them.<\/p>\n Judas Priest<\/a><\/strong>‘s legendary vocalist has filled in for both Ozzy Osbourne<\/a><\/strong> and Ronnie James Dio<\/a><\/strong>. In 1992, when Dio<\/strong> apparently didn’t want to open for Ozzy<\/a><\/strong><\/strong>‘s solo band, Halford accepted a two-night invite to sing for Black Sabbath<\/a><\/strong>. Over a decade later, when Ozzy<\/a><\/strong><\/strong> was back in Sabbath<\/strong>, Rob Halford<\/a><\/strong> filled in for the Prince of Darkness at an Ozzfest gig after Osbourne<\/strong> was diagnosed with bronchitis. Needless to say, Halford<\/strong> was perfection.<\/p>\n \n
