q anuncian la reunión número 34556 y que de momento están confirmados aquí:
Pues sí, lo que a lo mejor no esperabas era un disco nuevo!
Amos anda, o sea que Iommi está deseando acabar la quimio para tocar y bill Ward dice que quiere más pasta!
"Dear SABBATH fans, fellow musicians and interested parties,
At this time, I would love nothing more than to be able to proceed with the BLACK SABBATH album and tour. However, I am unable to continue unless a 'signable' contract is drawn up; a contract that reflects some dignity and respect toward me as an original member of the band.
Last year, I worked diligently in good faith with [fellow original SABBATH members] Tony [Iommi, guitar], Ozzy [Osbourne, vocals] and Geezer [Butler, bass]. And on [November 11, 2011, again in good faith, I participated in the L.A. press conference.
Several days ago, after nearly a year of trying to negotiate, another 'unsignable' contract was handed to me.
Let me say that although this has put me in some kind of holding pattern, I am packed and ready to leave the U.S. for England. More importantly, I definitely want to play on the album, and I definitely want to tour with BLACK SABBATH.
Since the news of Tony's illness, and the understanding that the band would move production to the U.K., I've spent every day getting to or living in a place of readiness to leave. That involves something of a task, and as I've tried to find out what's going on with the U.K. sessions, I've realized that I've been getting 'the cold shoulder' (and, I might add, not for the first time). Feeling somewhat ostracized, my guess is as of today, I will know nothing of what'shappening unless I sign 'the unsignable contract.'
The place I'm in feels lousy and lonely because as much as I want to play and participate, I also have to stand for something and not sign on. If I sign 'as is,' I stand to lose my rights, dignity and respectability as a rock musician.
I believe in freedom and freedom of speech.
I grew up in a hard rock/metal band. We stood for something then, and we played from the heart with honesty and sincerity. I am in the spirit of integrity, far from the corporate malady, I am real and honest, fair and compassionate.
If I'm replaced, I have to face you, the beloved SABBATH fans. I hope you will not hold me responsible for the failure of an original BLACK SABBATH lineup as promoted. Without fault finding, I want to assure everyone that my loyalty to SABBATH is intact.
So here I am. I lay my truth down before you. I'm good to go IF I get a 'signable' contract.
I don't want to let anyone down, especially BLACK SABBATH and all the SABBATH fans. You know I love you. It would be a sad day in rock if this current situation fell to the desires of a few.
My position is not greed-driven. I'm not holding out for a 'big piece' of the action (money) like some kind of blackmail deal. IÂ’d like something that recognizes and is reflective of my contributions to the band, including the reunions that started fourteen years ago.
After the last tour, I vowed to never again sign on to an unreasonable contract. I want a contract that shows some respect to me and my family, a contract that will honor all that I've brought to BLACK SABBATH since its beginning.
That's the story so far.
Stay safe and stay strong.
I love every single one of you."
Pues parece ser que el grupo ha decidido seguir sin el batería, vaya tela...

anda q... q cutres.
esto empieza a ser rollo telenovela
A mí ya me daba mala espina desde el principio, e incluso me arriesgaría a apostar que al final no toca ni Bill Ward ni ninguno de Black Sabbath. Este año no creo que pille el pase de los 3 días, como mucho me acercaré una jornada a ver a los Soundgarden, que los acabarán metiendo para sustituir a Black Sabbath

pues yo estoy deseando que pase esto y poder ver a soundgarden en el azkena y en el sonisphere.
no era fecha exclusiva lo de soundgarden en el sonisphere?
Eso decían, si. Maldita sea....
El batería que nos tendremos que tragar es Tommy Clufetos, que es el que llevaba Ozzy en solitario
>>Tommy Clufetos
Ese nombre es inventado. A mi no me la das
Nos quedamos sin Black Sabbath en el Azkena y volveremos a tener a Ozzy 🙁

TOUR UPDATE:
BANDÂ’S SOLE EUROPEAN PERFORMANCE THIS SUMMER SET FOR U.K.Â’S DOWNLOAD FESTIVALOZZY & FRIENDS TO PERFORM MAJORITY OF OTHER
SCHEDULED SHOWSBLACK SABBATH --who late last year confirmed the recording of their first new album in more than 33 years and a worldwide headlining tour--have had to put some plans on hold due to Tony IommiÂ’s battle with lymphoma. At this time, BLACK SABBATH will perform only one show of this summerÂ’s previously scheduled European tour. It will take place Sunday, June 10 at the U.K.Â’s Download Festival.
So as not to let the promoters and fans down, OZZY OSBOURNE will now perform the majority of the previously scheduled BLACK SABBATH dates (both festival performances and the headlining shows) billed as OZZY & FRIENDS. These “first ever” OZZY & FRIENDS shows will feature appearances by “special guest” musicians including GEEZER BUTLER (who will join Ozzy for a special BLACK SABBATH set as a show of respect and support to their friend, Tony Iommi) and longtime former OZZY band member Zakk Wylde. In addition, OZZY will be accompanied by longtime collaborator and friend Slash at select shows, with other “special guests” set to join the tour at various stops along the way (full list of dates, appearances below).
Tony Iommi continues to make excellent progress and is looking forward to getting back out on the road. Meanwhile, BLACK SABBATH continue to write and record music in the U.K. for their upcoming album. More information about these dates and BLACK SABBATHÂ’s recording and touring plans is forthcoming.
