Ozzy says a Black Sabbath reunion won't happen until 2012. "It's not going to happen for at least a year or two because I've got my tour and an album to do. But it's not added to the realms of never ever. I would be a liar if I said to you I wouldn't want to do the ultimate Sabbath album. I always wanted to be a Beatle and people said, 'Well, Sabbath is a heavy metal version of The Beatles'."
A New York judge has given Ozzy Osbourne permission to move forward with his lawsuit against Tommy Iommi. He is demanding a 50% stake in the Black Sabbath trademark, along with a portion of Iommi's profits from use of the name. Ozzy claims his "signature lead vocals" are largely responsible for the band's success.
