Black Sabbath's Tony Iommi has denied reports that Black Sabbath have reformed for a new tour and album.
According to the Birmingham Mail the band; Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward had reunited and were 'looking forward to performing' again'.
Original member Tony Iommi has denied the claims, he wrote on his official website: "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."
