TONY MARTIN Unveils New HEADLESS CROSS Line-up

Former BLACK SABBATH singer Tony Martin has announced the 2012 line-up of his HEADLESS CROSS touring project. The band celebrates the BLACK SABBATH album, "Headless Cross", in their live performances.

Their line-up includes the following musicians...
Tony Martin (Black Sabbath,The Cage) - Vocals
Danny "Danté" Needham (Venom) - Drums
Geoff Nicholls (ex-Black Sabbath) - Keyboards
Dario Mollo (Voodoo Hill, The Cage) - Guitar
Magnus Rosén (ex-Hammerfall) - Bass

HEADLESS CROSS is scheduled to perform on the east coast of England at the end of July, with more appearances to be announced.

Black Sabbath released "The Eternal Idol" (1987), "Headless Cross" (1989), "Tyr" (1990), "Cross Purposes" (1994), "Cross Purposes Live" (1995) and "Forbidden" (1995) albums with Tony Martin on vocals

Martin revealed that we would not be seeing him on tour much in the future...

"It's just too hard, every time we go out on the road, we lose money. They expect us to play for free or for less and less each time and we can't run an operation like that. It's just not possible. That's disappointing, 'cause I want to be out on the road! It's a natural place for a musician to be. Playing gigs is part of the fun. But you can't do it for nothing, and if you have to sell your house or your car or have to get a day job as an electrician or something to pay to go and play, then that's no fun and it's also damaging to your family and your life."

Martin's last solo album, "Scream", was released in November 2005 via MTM Music and featured Cozy Powell on the track "Raising Hell" as well as songwriting contributions by Geoff Nicholls.
