Black Sabbath to Record New Album, Plan Final Tour — rollingstone.com

Following the global success of their most recent album 13, which debuted at Number One in the United States and several other countries, Black Sabbath have decided to record another album. Ozzy Osbourne told Metal Hammer that he hoped to begin the writing sessions with guitarist Tony Iommi and bassist Geezer Butler in early 2015. "We're going to do one more album, and a final tour," he said. Osbourne reported that the experience of making and touring around 13 was positive all around and that the band left things off on friendly terms after their tour earlier this year. "Once the dust settled after the last tour we started discussing the idea – because we were getting asked about it all the time – I said to Sharon, 'What's going on?
