BS to reform with Dio?
It looks as though a reunion of Black Sabbath members is on the horizon with vocalist Ronnie James Dio - who fronted the band from 1979-1983 - though the band will have a different name.
Metal and rock news site Blabbermouth.net reports that a representative for Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi has confirmed that a reunion of Iommi, Ronnie James Dio, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward appears to be in the planning stages. The project's name is likely to be Heaven And Hell - also the name of Dio's first album with the band in 1980 - and if all goes well, the band should be hitting the road in early 2007.
