Gestern berichteten wir, dass Black Sabbath wieder aktiv seien (s. hier). Wie es scheint, war das jedoch nur eine Ente, die von dem englischen Journalisten erfunden wurde, dem Tony Iommi ein Interview gab. Missinterpretation oder Kalkül? Man weiß es nicht. In einem offiziellen Statement Iommis heißt es:
"I´m saddened that a Birmingham journalist whom I trusted has chosen this point in time to take a conversation we had back in June and make it sound like we spoke yesterday about a Black Sabbath reunion.
At the time I was supporting the Home of Metal exhibition and was merely speculating, shooting the breeze, on something all of us get asked constantly, "Are you getting back together?"
Thanks to the internet it´s gone round the world as some sort of "official" statement on my part, absolute nonsense. I hope he´s enjoyed his moment of glory, he won´t have another at my expense.
to my old pals, Ozzy, Geezer and Bill, sorry about this, I should have known better.
All the best, Tony"
