I just can’t believe it! My dear dear friend Ozzy has passed away only weeks after our show at Villa Park. It’s just such heartbreaking news that I can’t really find the words, there won’t ever be another like him. Geezer, Bill and myself have lost our brother. My thoughts go…
#OnThisDay in 2008, we released a collection of four Black Sabbath albums with Ronnie James Dio titled "The Rules of Hell" 🤘
Our third album Master of Reality came out #OnThisDay in 1971. When we were recording at Island Studios, Geezer and I decided to down-tune to C# for an even heavier sound. - Tony ✟
Wishing my best friend @DrBrianMay a very Happy Birthday! - Tony ✟
Many Happy Returns to the one and only @geezerbutler . 🤘
We’ve all been blown away by the amazing cover of ‘Changes’ by @yungblud. Our studio version from 2017 was recorded in Angelic Studios where we also happened to reunite for the Back To The Beginning rehearsals. Tony ✞
We named this song N.I.B. and is often assumed to mean ‘Nativity In Black’. But actually it was because Bill’s beard was shaped like a pen nib! - Tony ✟ 🎥 Universal Music Group and Mercury Studios #backtothebeginning
#OnThisDay 40 years ago, Geezer, Bill and I reunited with Ozzy at Live Aid in Philadelphia. An incredible charity event viewed by 1.5 billion people worldwide. Not sure what happened to that jacket, might be in a Hard Rock somewhere, has anyone out there seen it? - Tony ✟
20 years ago today (11 Jul 2005 - UK) the masterpiece that is "Fused" from @TonyIommi & @Glenn_Hughes was released. It's just as spectacular now as it was when first released. The new blue vinyl physically looks nice too. The lads are obscenely overdue for a fourth album.
Backstage on one of music's finest days, Philadelphia 1985 🤘 You can watch the Live Aid 40th anniversary stream on YouTube this Sunday. youtube.com/@LiveAid
Sing me a song, you're a singer… Thinking of Ronnie today on his birthday. ✟
What a journey I’ve been on with these three guys and lived to tell the tale! ✟ 🎥 Universal Music Group and Mercury Studios #BackToTheBeginning
A few reflections on a beautiful and bittersweet day: I first heard Black Sabbath on my uncle’s stereo some 50 years ago. So it was surreal to stand on a football pitch with 45,000 strong to witness the end of this grand, institutional group who has touched me personally,…
Photos from #backtothebeginning - Such an amazing show! Thanks to @OzzyOsbourne @tonyiommi @geezerbutler @billwarddrums @BlackSabbath for including us in this landmark event. 📷: @metaldavemedia
