Guitarist Tony Iommi, bassist Geezer Butler, drummer Bill Ward and singer Ronnie James Dio -- former members of British metal supergroup Black Sabbath -- are forming a band called Heaven and Hell, named after their 1980 hit, according to their publicist. They plan to launch an international tour next year.
Original Sabbath vocalist Ozzy Osbourne said in a statement that he wished Iommi and Dio well, adding that their project “has nothing to do with Black Sabbath. There is only one Black Sabbath.”
