Though their highly rumored new album is not done, Black Sabbath will tour next year, according to guitarist Tony Iommi, who says the band will be touring "as much as we're able" in 2013.
"What a year! Certainly not the one I was expecting," Iommi said in a new posting on his website. "Thanks to you all for your massive help and support, it was very encouraging. I'm still working on the album and managed to play three shows, not bad given the news a year ago. I'm looking forward to next year, seeing what you think of the record and touring as much as we're able."
Black Sabbath recently revealed that they are six tracks into recording their new album, which is due for release in April of 2013.
