Reports indicate Black sabbath raked in over $100 million worldwide on the tour.
Black Sabbath’s days of extensive touring may be over, but that doesn’t necessarily mean the end for the legendary band.
Speaking with Planet Rock, guitarist Tony Iommi reveals that the band hasn’t ruled out one-off shows or recording new material.
"No, I don't think we've ruled anything out, apart from me not wanting to tour any more on that scale, but who knows, we may do something,” says Iommi. “We haven't spoken about it. That's another thing.. we haven't talked about anything, really, that's to do with what's going to happen afterwards. But I'm sure something can happen somewhere."
