download festival. tour

Black Sabbath - sans Bill Ward - reunited at the Download Festival last Sunday for show number two of their reunion tour. Tommy Clufetos stood in for the absent Bill Ward, who continues to sit out the group’s planned reunion due to a contractual dispute.

Metallica played their 1991 "Black" album in full but in reverse order as they headlined Saturday night at this year's Download rock festival.

Due to Tony Iommi's recent cancer diagnosis, the Black Sabbath reunion tour has been reduced to three dates (until further notice). Show number two went down Sunday night when Sabbath headlined the Download Festival in Donington Park.  Iommi  seems unfazed by his cancer treatment regimen, and Ozzy was...well...Ozzy.
