Black Sabbath comment on Grammy nominations



Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne has released a statement on behalf of the band regarding the group’s three Grammy Award nominations, which were announced Friday in Los Angeles.

“We are ecstatic, surprised and very happy!” says Osbourne.

The band’s latest album, “13”, earned a nomination for”Best Rock Album”, while the track “God Is Dead?” is a contender for “Best Rock Song” and “Best Metal Performance.”

Sabbath’s last Grammy win was in 2000 for "Best Metal Performance" for "Iron Man" from the band's "Reunion" live album.

The 56th Annual Grammy Awards will be held January 26, 2014 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles and broadcast live on CBS from 8–11:30 p.m. (ET/PT).

Black Sabbath are currently playing a European tour, which is set to wrap up in the band’s hometown of Birmingham, England on December 22.

The metal icons have just released a new live DVD, “Black Sabbath – Gathered In Their Masses.”

The set was recorded over two shows – April 29 and May 1 – in Melbourne, Australia during the early stages of the group’s current world tour.
