In thrilling news for rock and heavy metal fans around the world, legendary guitarist Tony Iommi has confirmed that Black Sabbath is planning a reunion. The announcement comes nearly eight years after the band played what was believed to be their final show in Birmingham in 2017.

Speaking in a recent interview, Iommi hinted that conversations among the original members — including Ozzy Osbourne, Geezer Butler, and himself — have taken a more serious turn in recent months.

> “We’ve been talking, and there’s definitely interest on all sides,” Iommi revealed. “I can’t give away too much, but I’ll just say this: Black Sabbath isn’t finished yet.”

While specific details are still under wraps, the guitarist’s comments strongly suggest that something big is in the works. Whether it’s a new studio project, a special one-off performance, or even a short tour remains to be seen.

Fans are especially excited to hear that Ozzy Osbourne is open to reuniting with the band, despite his recent health issues. “If I could get up there and do it with the boys again, I’d be there in a heartbeat,” Ozzy said in a separate interview last month.

Black Sabbath is widely regarded as one of the founding forces of heavy metal. With a career spanning more than five decades, the band’s influence can still be felt throughout the music world today.

Their last studio album, 13, was released in 2013 to critical acclaim and commercial success. A reunion — of any kind — would mark a major moment in rock history and a dream come true for millions of fans.

More updates are expected soon as the band continues to work behind the scenes.
