According to reports from AntiMusic.com, Tony Iommi has recently revealed that the band Black Sabbath was once offered the opportunity to have their music be the inspiration for a Broadway show.

At the time, the band rejected the idea as "weird." Since then, musicals like Queen's WE WILL ROCK YOU enjoyed success. But Iommi still doesn't think they would consider it when their latest album is released next year.

The guitarist told VH1, "We might be jumping on the bandwagon at that point."

Black Sabbath are an English heavy metal band, formed in Aston, Birmingham in 1968 by Ozzy Osbourne (lead vocals), Tony Iommi (guitar), Geezer Butler (bass guitar), and Bill Ward (drums). The band has since experienced multiple line-up changes, with Tony Iommi the only constant presence in the band through the years. A total of 22 musicians have at one time been members of Black Sabbath.
