This is interesting. Although Black Sabbath have cancelled most of their European festival appearances due to Tony Iommi's need for lymphoma treatment, it seems as though the band will still be playing one North American show. At least that's what Sharon Osbourne says in a new interview:
"They're gonna be doing one show in America this summer but I can't say yet because we can't announce it, the promoters have to, but they are doing one show in August here together."
Black Sabbath aren't just going to be playing a small arena show. They want a big payout, so it will likely be a festival. When asked about Bill Ward's status, Sharon responded:
"We don't know yet, we really don't know. It's up to Bill. The door is open for him to join us, so it's up to him."
And finally, Sharon was nice enough to give an update on how the new record is coming along:
"It's going good," she said. "They're doing really well in the studio. Gosh, they must've written 15 new songs already and it's going great."
I really want to see Black Sabbath live, and hopefully, it'll finally happen this Summer.
