Black Sabbath

The bassist adds, however, that any follow up to '13' wouldn't be about the money.

Maybe Black Sabbath's feeling guilty for having been inactive for so long.  The band continues making up for lost time by headlining a show at the British Summer Time festival this July.

The albums Black Sabbath recorded during their first go-round with Ozzy Osbourne will be collected in a new box set. Rhino will release 'Black Sabbath: The Complete Studio Albums 1970-1978' on April 15.

Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin each won an award at the Grammys' annual Pre-Telecast Ceremony this evening. Which is something that probably should have happened in 1974, but whatever we'll take it.

Any time a veteran band returns from a long hiatus with a new album, fans hope it means they're back on track creatively and ready to follow up with another record sooner than later. But rather than the start of a new chapter, it looks like Black Sabbath's '13' could wind up serving as the group's swan song.

Here's some great news for North American Black Sabbath fans: The heavy metal mavens have announced a 2014 spring tour that will see the band trek across Canada and as well as play shows in a couple of major U.S. cities.  The trek gets under way March 31 in New York City at Brooklyn's Barclays Center and is mapped out through an April 26 concert at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles.

While his estranged Black Sabbath band mates are touring Latin America, founding Sabbath drummer Bill Ward is recovering from a serious medical procedure.

Black Sabbath's upcoming DVD and Blu-ray culled from the opening dates of their recent world comeback tour just got an extended teaser trailer.

A live DVD release will close out what has been a very, very good year for fans of Black Sabbath. The band has announced they'll release 'Black Sabbath: Live ... Gathered in Their Masses' on Nov. 26. The footage comes from two Black Sabbath tour dates from this past spring. And it's probably not a coincidence that the announcement comes on Friday the 13th.

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.

Life with Ozzy Osbourne means taking the good with the bad, and nobody knows that better than Ozzy's wife, Sharon Osbourne.

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.
