BLACK SABBATH guitarist Tony Iommi has confirmed to Birmingham Mail that the band's original lineup is getting back together.
Iommi, Ozzy Osbourne, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward have begun rehearsing for a tour and new studio album.
In June this year vocalist Ozzy and guitarist Iommi wrote new material for a record that will be released next year.
"We're really looking forward to it and I think the stuff we've been writing is really good," said Iommi. "It's more back to the old original stuff."
He added that the reunion has been kept under wraps for some time.
"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."
Iommi said his only concern about the current reformation was the health of drummer Bill Ward who in the past has suffered a heart attack.
"He hasn't been 100 percent. He had an operation a few months ago, so we'll see how he is."
Ozzy was asked by QMI Agency in a recent interview why the four members of SABBATH couldn't seem to agree on playing together again. Ozzy replied, "I haven't got a clue. If they want to call me, they can call me. I never say never. If it works, fine. If it don't, I'll move on. It ain't the end of the world. I ain't gonna get a box of Kleenex and cry my eyes out for the rest of my life."
Ozzy added, "I would love to do a great album with BLACK SABBATH. I would love to get the credit we so roundly deserve. At the same time, the pressure would be really intense. I could go tomorrow and make an album with them, but it wouldn't necessarily be something I would be proud of."

When asked by Birmingham Mail writer Andy Coleman whether Iommi considered the story in the Birmingham Mail to be untrue, Baker said, "No, he doesn't say that." But Baker added, "We haven't got anything in place. He's not denying that the guys have been talking but there's nothing in the way that's been implied in the statements that you made.
"He made them to you in June and he felt that he made them to you off the record."
According to Coleman, the story of the reunion of SABBATH's original lineup first appeared on a specialist music web site and was expanded by the Birmingham Mail.
Iommi's manager said the guitarist's comments made to the Birmingham Mail in June during a wide-ranging interview that included the charity single he had recorded with DEEP PURPLE's Ian Gillan, his contract to write music for a series of horror films and his contribution to Birmingham's Home Of Metal exhibition, were taken out of context.
"A very insignificant little web site [apparently referring to MetalTalk.net. — Ed.] put something out about SABBATH getting back together and being in the Midlands. End of story," said Baker.
"When you [Birmingham Mail] went online, that's when it went around the world because it was official.
"Tony's web site virtually crashed and it took off.
"That's why Tony's pissed off — because the story would have died a death.
"I don't consider some dodgy little web site [presumably referring to MetalTalk.net. — Ed.] a trigger [to publish]. It was picked up by everybody because a lot of these kids have nothing better to do than simply pick up a story from one site and run with it and see what happens."

Ozzy Osbourne wasn't in Hollywood last night (Monday, August 22) for the premiere and special MusiCares screening of his movie, "God Bless Ozzy Osbourne", which was filmed and produced by his son Jack. His absence was conspicuous and lends credence to the rumors that Ozzy is in England working on material for a new BLACK SABBATH album with other members of the band's original lineup.
Artisan News asked Ozzy's daughter Kelly at last night's event where her dad was and she sort of let the cat out of the bag while her brother was better able to keep the secret.
"My dad is… I don't know if I'm allowed to tell you," Kelly said. "But he's doing something that is very, very exciting. He's just finished a tour. But he's doing something very exciting. I'm not allowed to talk about it, though."
When asked if there is any truth to the reports that Ozzy is in England working on a new SABBATH album, Jack replied, "I can neither confirm nor deny who he is with or where he is."
"At the moment we're in talks about it. But what's going to happen with it, I don't know. There's no definite decision on anything at the moment, but at least it's going. We're talking, we're all talking to each other. We've met up, had a play [rehearsal], and it was great."
Iommi adds: "We haven't announced anything yet, because nothing's definite. We're taking it steady, because these things have a tendency to backfire. 'Oh, you said you were getting back together, but you haven't.' So I don't know. We'll have to see. It would be nice to think we could, and I think we would all like to do it, but it's a bit more involved than that."
Q: I remember reading earlier this year that the original Black Sabbath lin-up was reuniting for a new album and tour. What's the status?
A: "I remember reading that, as well [laughs]. There is no status at the moment. That's something that always can happen. We just get on with it and see what happens."
Q: Are all the original Sabbath members on good terms?
A: "Yes, I think so. I talk to Ozzy a lot – we've always been in contact. And I talk to Bill occasionally. Geez, I played with him until Ronnie [James Dio] passed away. We still stay in contact. Geezer is not one for being on the phone, we normally email. We all get on well – I don't think there's any bad vibes or anything."
Q: When was the last time all four original Sabbath members were in the same room?
A: "A long time ago."
Q: If Sabbath were to work on a new album, do you think the new material could measure up to the group's early classics?
A: "I don't know – that's always the question, isn’t it? But I don't know if you'd try and match it up. We've moved on since then. I don't know quite what we'd be doing. It would be a Black Sabbath thing, but I don't know to what extent. Until that's written and done, I wouldn't know."
Q: What would it take then for the original Sabbath to reunite?
A: "The band can decide to do something, but there are a lot of people involved, and everybody's got individual managers. It's not as easy as like it was in the old days – us all going in one room and it all works. I mean, we can certainly do that, but it's a bit more involved than that."
