TONY IOMMI: I Talk To OZZY OSBOURNE About Three Times A Week


During a short interview conducted this past Thursday (June 23) at the launch of a new art gallery and exhibition celebrating the history and continued importance of heavy metal in the Midlands region of England, Brad Sanders of The Quietus web site asked legendary guitarist Tony Iommi whether there is still any talk of a reunion of the original lineup of BLACK SABBATH. "You'll have to wait and see," he replied. "We've been doing all different stuff. I just talked to Ozzy [Osbourne] this morning — we talk about three times a week. He's doing his tour and I've been doing stuff with [current DEEP PURPLE and former BLACK SABBATH singer] Ian Gillan, I've done a few tracks with him, and I've been doing [my autobiography entitled 'Iron Man: My Life With Black Sabbath And Beyond']. So, when the time is right. If we're still alive."

Ozzy recently told The Pulse Of Radio that he's heard talk of BLACK SABBATH getting back together again, but isn't holding his breath. "Well, you know, there's rumblings about it. I'm sure eventually somebody will pop the question, and in a serious manner. I'm having such a good time with my band now, I don't want to go back and have an unhappy time, you know. I don't, I'm not in it for the money entirely. I would like to have some fun with it, you know."
