BLACK SABBATH Guitarist TONY IOMMI – “I've Believed In This, I've Lived And Breathed This”

Black Sabbath guitar legend Tony Iommi took home the Gibson Les Paul Award at the 2015 installment of the Q Awards, which took place in London on October 19th. He discusses the band’s legacy and their final tour in the clip below

In a new interview with Billboard, Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne talks “the end” of Black Sabbath. Following is an excerpt from the chat:

Are you ready for The End of Sabbath?

Osbourne: “Absolutely. I mean, it is the end of Sabbath, believe me. In December I'll be fucking 68 and it's time to call it the end of the day with Sabbath. It's been 45 years and it's been great. We started as kids and the greatest gift I have is the memory of the fact that we weren't a band in some London business mogul's head. We were four kids from a place called Aston, Birmingham, and it was a very fucked up, low-rent place and we said 'We'll just form a band' and we started with nothing and our first album went straight to f---ing No. 2 on the British charts and we've never looked back since. I don't want it to dwindle and dwindle and just play for the sake of making another fucking sack full of cash. I'm really proud of Sabbath, but it's time.”

Are you still planning to do a Sabbath farewell album?

Osbourne: “No, no. We were gonna do one before the tour, but it would take three or four years to write and record an album, by which time I'll be fucking 73 or 72 or something, so we decided just to do a farewell tour. Plus, after the last one (2013's 13), if we did an album and it went to No. 2, people would go, ‘It's over,' right?’”
