BLACK SABBATH Cancels European Tour; OZZY To Fill The Spot!

There has been a lot going on with BLACK SABBATH ever since they announced on 11/11/11 that the original lineup was rejoining forces. Today, the band announced that they have canceled their European tour, in order for Tony Iommi to be able to continue with his ongoing treatment for lymphoma. BLACK SABBATH will appear at the Download Festival in Donnington, UK.

In order to fill the void that would have been left by the cancellation of the tour, OZZY & Friends will be taking SABBATH's place. The shows will include guest appearances by Geezer Butler, Slash, Zakk Wylde, and many more!

As far as the NEW SABBATH record, Iommi plans to continue working with his bandmates on this highly anticipated project.
