After more than 30 years, Ozzy Osbourne will record an album with Black Sabbath

The musician said that with Ozzy this summer they have already started writing songs for the new CD, scheduled for 2012. The band is currently conducting a rehearsal for the tour. "We actually decided to do it – said Iommi. – It seems to me that the things that we are now writing, good. " Rumors of a reunion circulated in the British music press over the past two months, but the musicians until recently refused to confirm it. "I always tried to keep quiet. Ozzie was the hardest to control myself – said Tony. – He often participates in TV shows, and it asked all the time about a possible merger. And he said, "Well, never say never" – quoted by ITAR-TASS musician. Now it's hard to believe that the 40th anniversary of the Group, in 2009, Osbourne and Iommi, who stood at the very beginning, even started a lawsuit over copyright on the name Black Sabbath. Now it's in the past. With Ozzy Osbourne band played no more than 30 years. In 1978, the singer finally left her, taking up solo career. After that, at various times as a vocalist in "Black Sabbath" were Ronnie James Dio (ex-Rainbow) and Ian Gillan of Deep Purple.
