BLACK SABBATH guitar legend Tony Iommi spoke with Artisan News about the band's future and the possibilities of a reunion with singer Ozzy Osbourne, bassist Geezer Butler and drummer Bill Ward.

When asked during his recent book-signing tour for his autobiography, Iron Man: My Journey Through Heaven & Hell With Black Sabbath, he responded: "After this book tour I go to Los Angeles and then we work out what we want to do. Have meetings and plan the next year of what I'm going to be doing. So it could be anything."

About hooking up with his old lads Iommi continues: "We get along well. We'll see what happens. There's nothing in stone as yet. At least we are on the first stage towards it."
