Black Sabbath have officially announced that they will perform only one concert this summer, instead of the planned world tour. The announcement comes in the wake of Tony Iommi's recent lymphoma diagnosis.
Sabbath will co-headline this summer's Download Festival (along with Metallica,) with the rest of their already announced European dates being filled by Ozzy Osbourne.
According to an official press release, Iommi "continues to make excellent progress and is looking forward to getting back out on the road."
There's still no word as to who will be playing drums for the band when they play Download, although Bill Ward said earlier today that he is "hopeful" a compromise can be reached and he can rejoin the band.
