Black Sabbath

Black Sabbath will receive the Living Legend award from England's Classic Rock magazine. Ozzy Osbourne says, “It’s good to be a living legend. It’s better than being a dead one.” Previous winners include ZZ Top, Jeff Beck, Alice Cooper and Jimmy Page. Ozzy already won it as a solo artist in 2008.

Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi says he'd love to make another record with the band -- but admits that it all depends on how his health holds up. Iommi, who was diagnosed with cancer in January 2012 and continues to undergo treatment for the disease, told CT.com, "It's a question that's been asked a few times. I don't really have an answer. Because of my treatments and stuff I can't commit to doing another two years or anything like that. I have to play it as it comes now."

Black Sabbath is now an amusement park attraction. Universal Studios Hollywood will unveil Black Sabbath: 13 3D at this year’s premiere Halloween Horror Nights event, starting September 20th.

Last week, Black Sabbath drummer Bill Ward disputed Ozzy Osbourne's claims that Ward's physical problems were the main reason he wasn't part of Sabbath's reunion. Instead, Bill said, there was a contractual dispute. Now Ozzy's firing back, saying not only is Bill unhealthy, he's fat, too.

For original Black Sabbath drummer Bill Ward, there's a simple explanation as to why he didn't record or tour with his bandmates. "I was offered a contract, and I couldn't sign it," he said in a recent interview. He refutes suggestions that he wasn't physically up to the task.

Black Sabbath kicked off its North American tour last Thursday night (July 25th) in Houston, with the reunited group adding four tracks from its new album 13 to a set already filled with Sabbath classics and a few deeper album cuts.

The wait is finally over for Black Sabbath fans as they start the North American leg of their reunion tour.

It's a question that has plagued man since the shredding gods first emerged: Who is the greatest metal guitarist? And now the question can finally be answered.

As a founding member of Black Sabbath, Ozzy Osbourne helped invent heavy metal, but that doesn't mean he feels any particular fondness for it as a genre.

Eddie "The Rocker" Norton, a well-known former roadie with Black Sabbath and friend of guitarist Tony Iommi, has died after crashing his motorcycle into a sign post in Thailand.
