Screeching Metallic Sound

My 2001 883 Sportster Hugger suddenly developed a high pitched screeching metallic sound from the front wheel. Just can't seem to figure out what the problem is.

Any thoughts?
 
Get the front end off the ground. Pull the caliper then spin wheel and listen to the wheel bearings.
 
Could be that the floating pad on the front brake has shifted out of place and is against the rotor all the time or the bearings have failed as has been said raise front wheel remove brake caliper and investigate
