BLACK SABBATH: ANNOUNCE FIRST 2013 NORTH AMERICAN DATES




UK metal doom pioneers BLACK SABBATH have announced the first few dates of a 2013 North American tour. BLACK SABBATH revealed the art work for the bands anticipated new release "13", due to be unleashed 6/11/2013 via VERTIGO/REPUBLIC.

BLACK SABBATH re-united in 2011 for the bands first studio release in over almost 40 years.












FROM OZZY OSBOURNE:
For the last year and a half I have been drinking and taking drugs. I was in a very dark place and was an asshole to the people I love most, my family. However, I am happy to say that I am now 44 days sober.

Just to set the record straight, Sharon and I are not divorcing. I’m just trying to be a better person.

I would like to apologize to Sharon, my family, my friends and my band mates for my insane behavior during this period………and my fans.

God Bless,

Ozzy
