Are Members Of BLACK SABBATH & QUEEN Collaborating On A NEW Project?

According to the UK's Birmingham Mail, BLACK SABBATH's Tony Iommi and QUEEN's Brian May will be recording an album together. Talk about legend meets legend.

The collaboration was born when May went to visit Iommi when he was diagnosed with cancer (read more HERE).

"When I was first ill, Brian May came to visit me at my house in Lapworth," commented Iommi. "I played him some of my stuff, rock riffs that I'd never quite got round to developing, or decided not to use. He said I ought to do something with them.

"It's early days yet, and all my attention in on SABBATH for the foreseeable future, but we may well find some way of working together on them, and making them available in some shape or form.

"One of the ideas we had is that we could make the riffs available, get fans to use them in songs of their own, and see what they come up with. That way they'd effectively be recording with Brian and myself."

"I heard some of the hours of unreleased guitar jams Tony has on tapes and hard drives. I thought it would be great to make a compilation out of them", said May.

"The idea was to put all these riffs out in some form so that people could build their own songs from them. You could make your own music with Tony Iommi on guitar! How great is that!"

As previously announced, BLACK SABBATH will be releasing their comeback record entitled '13' on June 10 via Vertigo (album artwork & details HERE). Yesterday (April 12), the band made an announcement regarding the premiere of a NEW song out of '13'. Read on...

"Black Sabbath will perform a new song from '13' on the season finale of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. It will air Wednesday, May 15th on CBS. No word if they are also behind the crime..."

Ozzy Osbourne Offers Update On The Health Status Of His Guitarist Tony Iommi

As previously announced, BLACK SABBATH will be releasing their comeback record '13' on June 10 via Vertigo. The band - Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, Brad Wilke - will be on the road from July through September. So far, the only tour date that has been confirmed is at Toronto's Air Canada Centre on August 14, at Toronto's Air Canada Centre.

Ozzy recently updated fans on the health status of his friend and guitarist Tony Iommi:

“Tony’s fine, but he can only go out on the road for six weeks at a time as he has to have infusions or some s&*t for his immune system. I was amazed that during his chemotherapy he was still writing songs. My heart goes out to him, because when Sharon had cancer a few years back, she was so sick from chemotherapy she could barely get out of bed. It’s like having a football kick to the nuts. The chemotherapy is worse than the cancer – Sharon was like [the possessed child Regan in] ‘The Exorcist,’ having seizures all the time. Tony is doing really well though.”

SABBATH recently posted a video from the '13' studio sessions that includes a very rate interview with producer Rick Rubin. Members of the bands are also interviewed on this video!

Song titles on the album include "God Is Dead", "End Of The Beginning" and "Age of Reason".Upcoming BLACK SABBATH tour dates (UPDATED):

BLACK SABBATH Announce NEW Album Title & Studio Drummer!!!

Over the weekend, BLACK SABBATH revealed that the release of their NEW album has been postponed. Originally the record was set to be released this April, but now the band has announced that it won't be out until June. It seems like we will all have to wait a few months for the most anticipated album of the year.  It will also be the band's first record with frontman Ozzy Osbourne since the release of 'Never Say Die!' in 1978.

The band also announced that their NEW album will be entitled '13'. Why '13', is it because it is the year 2013? Or they just ran out of good album titles?

Additionally, the band has recruited drummer Brad Wilk from RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE to lay down the drum tracks on '13'. So this probably means that Wilk will also be touring with the band. Unless, Tommy Clufetos rejoins the rest of the band - Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler - once they hit the road later this year (see below).

So there you have it folks. The NEW SABBATH is entitled '13', it won't be out until June, and they have recruited Brad Wilk to lay down the drum tracks on '13'. Stay tuned for more SABBATH news!

Those clips will start airing this week on Channel 38 (Sirius XM).

Here are a few updates about the NEW BLACK SABBATH album:

- Ozzy Osbourne is currently in the studio recording vocals with Rick Rubin.

- 15 songs that have been written.

- Geezer Butler says the NEW record will contain 12 songs, with the remaining 3 being included as bonus tracks on special editions of the record. Geezer is also in charge of writing all the lyrics.

- Tony Iommi recorded all 15 guitar tracks during the band's sessions in England earlier this year.

- Ozzy and Geezer are working in five song increments, with the first five being worked on currently.

- One song title has been confirmed and it's "God Is Dead."

Meanwhile, bassist Geezer Butler revealed how Rubin had approached the writing sessions with the band, explaining: "He sat us down, put the first album on and said 'listen to this', imagine it's 1969, you've just done that, what would you do next?"

Guitarist Tony Iommi also discussed his battle with cancer and how playing with the band at their comeback show at O2 Academy Birmingham last month (May 19) gave him a "boost". "It was great. Going through what I've gone through over the past year has been like living in a different world", commented Iommi. "Being onstage and to get that [reaction from the fans] is just fantastic, it really boosts you up."

In other BLACK SABBATH news, the band will be headlining Download festival next Sunday (June 10). This is the only remaining gig of their world tour to feature Iommi as he continues to receive treatment for lymphoma. The rest of the jaunt is billed as an "Ozzy And Friends" tour, which will see the likes of ex-Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash and Zakk Wylde guest.

BLACK SABBATH's Geezer Butler Comments On Bill Ward's Statement!

By know you must know that legendary drummer Bill Ward removed himself from the current BLACK SABBATH "reunion" shows, as well as the production of the NEW album due to an "unsignable" contract. The band performed their first show in seven years on Saturday with replacement drummer Tommy Cluefetos, who currently performs drums on Ozzy Osbourne’s solo material and tours.

Before they took to the stage on Saturday, bassist Geezer Butler released the following statement titled “Heavy Heart”:

"I feel sad to see the Sabbath reunion becoming a bit of a soap opera on the internet. It has been a very tough year for us as a band, having announced our reunion plans, only for Tony to be diagnosed with lymphoma, leaving us no choice but to postpone the proposed Sabbath tour, and then for Bill to go public on his site about an un-signable contract. None of us knew how Tony was going to respond to his intensive chemo therapy, and radiotherapy. Ozzy and myself flew to England to be with Tony, and on his “good” days, we’d meet at his home studio and put ideas together for the upcoming album, all sitting down together, no drummer involved, just 3 of us quietly putting together ideas. We thought that when we had enough songs together for a full band rehearsal, we’d move back to L.A and put the whole thing together with Bill. Unfortunately, to our surprise, Bill issued a statement on his site saying he’d been offered an un-signable contract. He hadn’t told any one of us he was having contractual problems, and frankly those things are worked out between our representatives, and never between the four of us let alone in public. We had the idea of keeping just one show in this year, hoping that Tony would be well enough for that show, and that things with Bill would be sorted. As you may expect, a one off show at Donnington Festival (Download) costs an absolute fortune to stage, involving over 50 people, transport, air fares, hotels, meals, agents, promotors, accountants, lawyers etc, so none of us, expected to make much money from it- it was a one off Sabbath show for the fans, before we go into recording the new album. Apparently, this wasn’t acceptable to Bill’s representatives, they wanted an amount that was so unrealistic that it seemed to have been a joke. So we resigned ourselves to doing Download without Bill, hoping he’d change his mind and at least make a guest appearance. We started rehearsals a few weeks ago with Tommy Cluefetos, the drummer who will be on the Ozzy and Friends Tour. Brilliant drummer and good bloke. It was decided we’d better do a warm up show, to break the ice since we haven’t played together live. The O2 Academy was available in Birmingham, where we were rehearsing, so we decided on that, and to make a donation to Help For Heroes Charity, since we’d be ironing out any glitches we may have. Then Bill put out a further statement saying he’d been ready to play the Birmingham show , but he was expected to have to do it “for free”- well, I think that’s basically how you raise money from gigs for charity – you play them “for free”.

"All I am saying is that there are two sides to everything. I do hope to play with Bill again some day. For whatever reason; it wasn’t meant to be this time. Bill’s made his decision, and I have to respect that. Hopefully this painful year will be worth the wait for the new Sabbath album and end in joy and happiness for all."

    Stay frosty,
    Geezer Butler
