Black Sabbath Re-Reunion Around The Corner?


On Friday November 11, 2011 (National Metal Day), the original members of the legendary Heavy Metal group Black Sabbath — Ozzy Osbourne (vocals), Tony Iommi (guitar), Geezer Butler (bass) and Bill Ward (drums) — have announced that they will be making a special announcement at exactly 11:11 AM at a private ceremony that will be held at the Whisky A Go Go in Los Angeles. The event will be hosted by former Black Flag front-man Henry Rollins.

The Whiskey A Go Go has a very sentimental value for Black Sabbath; the band made their Los Angeles debut on November 11, 1970 (41 years ago), opening for Alice Cooper.

Recently, Iommi told U.K.'s Terrorizer magazine that Black Sabbath recently started rehearsing together, adding, "We 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!"

Ozzy Osbourne told Billboard.com last month that a Sabbath reunion is 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 fired up when Ozzy missed the Hollywood premiere of the documentary about his life, "God Bless Ozzy Osbourne". Both his son Jack and daughter Kelly said that their dad was "doing something that is very, very exciting."
