The
original lineup of the legendary heavy metal band Black Sabbath - Ozzy
Osbourne (vocals), Tony
Iommi (guitar), Geezer
Butler (bass) and Bill Ward (drums) - has reunited and will release a brand new album in 2012. The
group's first studio effort in 33 years will be produced by Rick
Rubin.A world tour will follow, including an
appearance at the U.K.'s Downloadfestival on June 10th, 2012.
A three-and-a-half-minute reunion-announcement video can be seen below.
Osbourne told Billboard.com last month that a reunion of the original Black Sabbath lineup was a "very, very strong possibility." He added, "It's in the very early stages, so we haven't recorded anything yet. If it works out, it'll work out. If it doesn't, I'll keep doing my thing."
Speculation about a reunion was fueled later that month when Ozzy skipped the Hollywood premiere of the documentary about his life, "God Bless Ozzy Osbourne". Both his son Jack and daughter Kelly hinted at the time that their dad was "doing something that is very, very exciting."
