Heavy rock icons BLACK SABBATH are gearing up for a string of Canadian dates this month and singer Ozzy Osbourne spoke with Jane Stevenson from Torontosun.com to promote the dates.

“Black Sabbath has always had a big following, me as well, in Canada,” said Osbourne, pointing out that 1978’s Never Say Die! was recorded in Toronto.

“We lived there for about three or four months. We’d gone up the ladder of success, we’d found out the manager was ripping us off, and we had nobody to direct us. We lost our own direction ourselves. It was a pretty sad time. When we did the album 13 - if that was going to be the last album I ever did with Black Sabbath - it was okay because before in 1978 with Never Say Die! wasn’t a good time for me with Black Sabbath. So if we never do another thing together again, we ended on a better note. The only sad thing was that (65-year-old original Sabbath drummer) Bill Ward never played on it."

About making a follow-up to 13, Ozzy adds: "And all I can say is, ‘I never say never anymore.’ I don’t want to say, ‘Yeah, we’re never going to do another album,’ because if everybody agrees and we don’t take 500 years again to make another album, I’m up for it. I wouldn’t mind doing another Sabbath album.”
