JAKARTA - Former Black Sabbath vocalist Tony Martin talked about the possibility of a reunion with the band. He expressed his readiness to return to work with Tony Iommi (guitar).

Meanwhile, a conversation about the possible reunion emerged after the guitarist shared a set of albums recorded with Martin earlier this year.

"I am willing, and I have said that if he wants to do something, I will," Tony Martin said during a recent interview with RockSverige.

However, Martin is not really sure that what is being discussed is in accordance with Iommi's intentions.

In my opinion, Tony (Iommi) is not really. I think he no longer wants to do things like this," Martin said about the possibility of a reunion.

"He doesn't need to do things like this. As he gets older, and he has cancer problems, he's obviously not interested in touring, really. He could perform occasionally, but he doesn't need to, so I don't know," he continued.

However, Martin did not completely deny the Black Sabbath reunion, considering that as long as the personnel are still alive, all possibilities may occur.

"I mean, they can still get Bill Ward back into the band and start again, in theory," he said.

"I've already said that I don't mind doing something if they're interested. We'll see."

For information, Martin was in Black Sabbath when the band was inhabited by Tony Iommi, Cozy Powell (drums), and collaborator Geoff Nicholls (keyboards). The formation was formed after two decades and has undergone several changes.

Together with Tony Martin as a vocalist, Black Sabbath released six albums, namely The Eternal Idol (1987), Headless Cross (1989), Tyr (1990), Cross Purposes (1994), Cross Purposes Live (1995) and Forbidden (1995).
