Den Headz, it was widely reported that Ozzy Osbourne, Geezer Butler, Tony Iommi, and Bill Ward officially reformed in 2011 as BLACK SABBATH and had started rehearsing for an epic reunion tour and brand new studio album. This story turns out to be… an alleged fabrication.
Here’s the OFFICIAL word from Tony Iommi:
16th August 2011
Black Sabbath Reunion
I’m saddened that a Birmingham journalist whom I trusted has chosen this point in time to take a conversation we had back in June and make it sound like we spoke yesterday about a Black Sabbath reunion.
At the time I was supporting the Home of Metal exhibition and was merely speculating, shooting the breeze, on something all of us get asked constantly, “Are you getting back together?”
Thanks to the internet it’s gone round the world as some sort of “official” statement on my part, absolute nonsense. I hope he’s enjoyed his moment of glory, he won’t have another at my expense.
To my old pals, Ozzy, Geezer and Bill, sorry about this, I should have known better.
All the best, Tony
