That is according to the Birmingham Mail anyway, I will believe it when I see it.
The Birmingham Mail reported that in an interview with Tony Iommi he revealed that the project has been under wraps for a couple of months, after he and Ozzy got back together to start writing together.
"We're really looking forward to it and I think the stuff we've been writing is really good," said Tony. "It's more back to the old original stuff." "It's all been very hush-hush. Ozzy's been the worst at trying to hold it back. He's doing a lot of TV and he's being asked stuff about a reunion and he's going 'well I never say never' "He told me, 'I don't know what to say'. "I had umpteen number of people on the phone asking if I fancied getting together with a band but I couldn't tell them what I was doing. I just had to say I was busy." The only question mark at the moment is seemingly around drummer Bill Ward's health. "He hasn't been 100 per cent. He had an operation a few months ago, so we'll see how he is."Tony Iommi later issued the following statement on his website...
Black Sabbath Re-Union Speculation 16th August 2011
Black Sabbath Re-Union
I'm saddened that a Birmingham journalist whom I trusted has chosen this point in time to take a conversation we had back in June and make it sound like we spoke yesterday about a Black Sabbath reunion.
At the time I was supporting the Home of Metal exhibition was merely speculating shooting the breeze on something all of us get asked constantly "Are you getting back together?"
Thanks to the internet it's now gone round the world as some sort of "official" statement on my part, absolute nonsense. I hope he's enjoyed his moment of glory, he won't have another at my expense.
To my old pals, Ozzy, Geezer and Bill, sorry about this, I should have known better.
All the best, Tony

I really hope they give it another go. Just hope Ward will up to it this time.
