Hoping to hear some of the new Black Sabbath album before '13' drops on June 11? Good news: You can -- but you'll have to watch the season finale of 'CSI' to do it.

Black Sabbath's world tour in support of their upcoming album '13' is beginning to take shape. The band, which just completed a long-awaited reunion project with original singer Ozzy Osbourne, will play New Zealand, Australia and Japan later this month. Now, a series of 15 European shows have been confirmed, beginning November 20.

North American Black Sabbath fans have been waiting a long time to see the band return to our many fine arenas, and their patience will soon be rewarded.

The unexpected death of Ten Years After's Alvin Lee left many of his peers offering tributes, condolences, and memories -- including Black Sabbath's Tony Iommi, who recently spoke about the way Lee helped Sabbath get a leg up during its early years.

Currently in the studio recording their highly-anticipated reunion album, heavy metal pioneers Black Sabbath have released a 25-minute video clip of the group's 1975 performance on 'Don Kirshner's Rock Concert' that reminds fans of just how great classic Sabbath really were.

Few bands would turn down having Tony Iommi backing them up, and soon more bands will get the chance. The Black Sabbath guitarist has a treasure trove of riffs laying around, unused, in his studio. Queen's Brian May has inspired Iommi to put them to good use.

After 35 years, countless comings and goings, multiple health scares, and at least one aborted reunion attempt, (most of) the classic Black Sabbath lineup is finally back together and ready for the world to hear some new music.

One year ago Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath released his memoir, 'Iron Man: My Journey Through Heaven and Hell With Black Sabbath.' The hard cover book came just before his lymphoma diagnosis, leaving the full story untold. That will change this fall when Iommi releases the paperback version.

With a new album, a tour of Australia and now a headlining gig at a Japanese version of Ozzfest, 2013 is looking to be a big year for the reunited Black Sabbath. In a new interview, Ozzy Osbourne said that he can't wait to perform in Australia with his old mates for the first time in nearly 40 years.

The reunion of Black Sabbath this year has taken place without original drummer Bill Ward, who is not participating due to a contract dispute. Throughout the ordeal, we have seen Ward say that he would love to play with them again, and Ozzy Osbourne state that his old friend is welcome. So, we've been asking, what's been stopping them from working out a deal?
