Osbourne, despite ongoing health challenges, remains enthusiastic about performing again, particularly in their hometown of Birmingham.
Fans are also keeping an eye on Iommi’s new music projects. He revealed that he’s been experimenting with orchestration and feels optimistic about the material, suggesting it might explore new creative directions while honoring Black Sabbath’s heavy metal legacy.
With these developments, Black Sabbath’s enduring influence and innovation remain as strong as ever, leaving fans eager for what 2024 will bring.
