Iommi on Dio Collab

Tony Iommi reports: We'd like to thank Wendy Dio for talking sense about the rumours concerning Ronnie Dio and Black Sabbath. 

To reiterate, Warner Bros Records have been looking at putting out a Sabbath Box Set featuring Ronnie for some time and recently the search for previously unreleased material began.

Amongst this, there are unfinished demos but they may not be considered worthwhile, in which case the guys might write something new.

This is a long-term album project and no release date has been set.
