(Reuters) - Veteran British rock band Black Sabbath announced on Friday they
are reuniting in their original four man line-up for their first new album
in 33 years and a 2012 world tour.
Singer Ozzy Osbourne, guitarist Tony Iommi, bass player Geezer Butler and
drummer Bill Ward told a news conference at legendary Sunset Strip club
Whiskey a Go Go they would perform at the Download Festival in England in
June 2012, and then embark on a world tour.
The band, which first got together under the Black Sabbath name in 1969,
said they were working on new material for the album for release in the fall
of 2012. There is no title as yet but it will be produced by Rick Rubin.
"It's now or never. We are getting along great. Everything's really good,"
Iommi told reporters at the club where Black Sabbath played their first show
in Los Angeles exactly 41 years ago.
"It's like putting on an old glove. It's fantastic," Iommi added.
The four musicians, now all in their 60s, released their last studio album
of all original material in 1978 with "Never Say Never."
Rumors of a possible reunion of the English metal band, regarded as one of
the pioneers of heavy metal with hits like "Iron Man" and War Pigs," had
been swirling for months.
