The last time that Gigwise spoke to Black Sabbath was at the Ivor Novello Awards where they were appearing with former drummer Bill Ward - after making with a very public argument with Ozzy Osbourne over "insults and false remarks" as well as an "unsignable contract" to rejoin, before Ozzy replied "what the fuck are you on about?"
Now, speaking to us at the Q Awards, Iommi revealed that there was still very little chance of a full reunion with the sticksman.
"It was good, it was really nice to see Bill. We do stay in contact," Iommi tells Giwise. "It was a nice warm feeling."
When quizzed on the chances of the band settling their differences to perfom again with Ward on their 'final tour', he replied: "No, to be honest - I don't know if that's going to happen. But who knows? You never know."
And could we see them at Download or Glastonbury in the UK next year? "We will be doing the UK, we can't not do the UK," he replied, remaining fairly tight-lipped.
As for one final album before they call it a day, Iommi said that "it could happen."
"We've got some tracks that we recorded before with Rick Rubin in LA," he replied. "When we did our last album we made 16 tracks, but we only put eight on the album so there are tracks there that could possibly show their face at some point."
