The announcement was made on Friday, singer Ozzy Osbourne, guitarist Tony Iommi, bass player Geezer Butler and drummer Bill Ward told a news conference at legendary Sunset Strip club Whisky a Go Go they would perform at the Download Festival in June 2012, and then embark on a world tour.
“It’s now or never, we are getting on great” Iommi told reporters.
“It’s just time,” Osbourne added, noting that the four had tried in the past to work together again. “This time, for some magical reason, we have written about seven or eight songs.”
Ozzy’s daughter, Kelly Osbourne took to Twitter to announce the news to her followers, Which led to #blacksabbath trending worldwide on the social network. The band is also using the internet as a tool for the first time, having launched their first official website www.blacksabbath.com . They will soon be joining other music stars on Twitter and Facebook.

Comedian Freddie Starr has been taken to hospital after suffering a severe allergic reaction during his stint on I’m a celebrity….Get me out of here. He will be kept in over night to be closely observed, and to run tests to try demand establish the root of the reaction.
Freddie started to feel sick and unwell after the Greasy Spoon bush tucker trial and doctors were immediately called to assess the 68-year-old condition.
A show spokesperson had said
“The reaction could be due to a spider bite, he might have reacted badly to a leech or a tic, or even a snake he hadn’t noticed.”…..he could have reacted to tree bark or even a leaf….”it’s highly unlikely the reaction is from a bug Freddie had eaten, during his bush tucker trial, but nothing is being ruled out.
Freddie is said to be in good spirits, and keeping the nurses entertained. No news yet if Starr will return to the jungle.
***BREAKING NEWS***
It has just been announced that London has been named as the host of the 2017 World Athletics Championships.
Lord Sebastian Coe, along the rest of the Britain Bid Team were in Monaco to hear the result from the IWF, Which was met with major jubilation.Following a vote of the 26 members of the International Association of Athletics Federations Council, London beat Doha to the prize.
This means that the new stadium in East London will Definately keep its athletic track in place, and not be used just as a football stadium after the 2012 Olympic Games, that will be held there next year, as was originally thought.
Billy Crystal, will present the 2011, Academy Awards, replacing Eddie Murphy, who 
was originally booked for the post.
The announcement follows days of drama at the academy after producer Brett Ratner last week used the gay slur “fags” at a screening of his movie “Tower Heist,” which stars Murphy.
Murphy was hand picked by Rather, but now both will no longer be a part of the 2012 awards telecast. Producer Grazer was brought in, and despite efforts to bring Murphy back, it seems to no avail. Grazer then turned to Crystal as one of the ceremonies most popular hosts.
Crystal broke the news on his Twitter account, “Am doing the Oscars so the young woman in the pharmacy will stop asking my name when I pick up prescriptions. Looking forward to the show.” He tweeted earlier tiday.
It will be Billy’s ninth time in the top job, his last stint was back in 2004.
