Here is some big news that is sure to get the Heavy Metal tongues wagging! While the original line-up of Black Sabbath look to be reuniting, there is now talk that a US tour will kick-off in early 2012, with...wait for it....metal gods Judas Priest and the mighty Motorhead.
Rumours that Heavy Metal godfathers, Tony Iommi, Ozzy Osbourne, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward, or Black Sabbath as they are more commonly called, are to reunite have been circulating for years, however, now the dream looks to become a reality as the original line-up has apparently already met for their first rehearsal session.
News of the rehearsal session was recently broken by guitarist Iommi, who revealed. "We’ve had a rehearsal and played some of the old stuff and to be together again was great. We’re all on good terms and we’re at a stage where we can play together again. It would be good if we could and I suppose it’s the closest it’s been to be able to do that. It could happen!"
There are now rumours that Black Sabbath will team up with fellow British Heavy Metal legends Judas Priest and Motorhead for a tour of North America in Spring 2012. Stereoboard understands that this tour would take place before Sabbath cross the pond for the UK's Summer festival season in June and July.
Nothing has been officially confirmed by the the band or their management, so this should be just taken as rumours. Its an exciting prospect though eh!
