TONY IOMMI On Board To Reunite BLACK SABBATH For Birmingham's Commonwealth Games - "I'm Up For It! Let's See What Happens"

In was just a week ago that Ozzy Osbourne told ITV News that he'd be open to performing at the opening ceremony of the next Commonwealth Games - to be held from August 27th - July 7th, 2022 in Birmingham, England - the city where his legendary band Black Sabbath formed in 1968.

“That would be fantastic, wouldn't it,? said Ozzy.

And now Ozzy's Black Sabbath bandmate, guitarist Tony Iommi, seems to be on board with the idea, telling Birmingham Live: "I think that it would be a great thing to do to help represent Birmingham. I’m up for it! Let’s see what happens!”
