Tony Iommi sparks Sabbath reunion

Black Sabbath's Tony Iommi has sparked rumours of a reunion, after he confessed the quartet had a top secret jam session at Ozzy Osbourne's home earlier in the year.

With reports suggesting a major announcement is imminent, Iommi told Billboard.com that he and bandmates Geezer Bulter and Bill Wes met up with frontman Ozzy to play a few old hits.

Iommi says: "It was a bit of fun... It was good, but it was just purely, 'Let's have a go and see what happens.'"

The rocker reveals he and his bandmates wanted to meet again soon, so they could 'discuss things and see what's going to happen and see what we're going to do."

Iommi adds: "It'd be nice to think we can actually do something."

All four original Black Sabbath members will be at a press conference this Friday at the Whisky A Go Go in Hollywood, where the band made their LA debut supporting Alice Cooper on 11 November 1970.

They are expected to announce plans for a world tour and a new album.
