Možno ste sa tešili zbytočne, s reunionom pôvodnej zostavy BLACK SABBATH to buď nie je také isté, alebo ho Iommi naďalej zatajuje. Správa, ktorá obletela svet, bola zrejme iba novinársky podfuk.

Iommi: "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 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 now 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."

Breaking news: BLACK SABBATH sú späť, a to v pôvodnej zostave Iommi - Osbourne - Butler - Ward. Od júna pracujú na novom materiáli, ktorý by mal vyjsť na budúci rok. Plánuje sa tiež koncertné turné.

Jediný otáznik visí nad osobou Billa Warda. Od roku 1998, kedy utrpel infarkt, na tom nie je zdravotne najlepšie a aj pred niekoľkými mesiacmi podstúpil operáciu.

Iommi: "We"re really looking forward to it and I think the stuff we"ve been writing is really good. It"s more back to the old original stuff."
