blabbermouth.net is not confirming the story but they are reporting the alleged item. Here it is.
TONY IOMMI, RONNIE JAMES DIO, GEEZER BUTLER, BILL WARD To Tour As HEAVEN & HELL? - Sep. 27, 2006
Madrid, Spain-based webzine Rafabasa is reporting that former BLACK SABBATH members Tony Iommi, Ronnie James Dio, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward will rejoin forces once again under the HEAVEN & HELL banner for a number of festival appearances next summer.
According to Rafabasa, the four members cannot tour under the name BLACK SABBATH or "BLACK SABBATH with Ronnie James Dio" due to legal reasons.
No tour dates have yet been confirmed, but the band's booking agent is allegedly offering the group to the promoters of the most important heavy metal festivals that are set to take place next year.
If the report is to be believed, HEAVEN & HELL will play a set consisting of selections from every single SABBATH CD that Ronnie James Dio appeared on: "Heaven & Hell", "Mob Rules" and "Dehumanizer".
In an August 16, 2006 appearance on the syndicated radio show "Rockline", Dio had the following to say about the possibility of further collaborations with BLACK SABBATH guitarist Tony Iommi:
"We've already written one [new] song together. The reason for that is that there's a release coming out, it's called 'Black Sabbath: The Dio Years' — they've already done one, of course, 'Black Sabbath: The Ozzy Years'; that was the beginning and, really, the best part of it all — but they've decided to do one, again, 'Black Sabbath: The Dio Years', and we wanted to make it a little but more special, not just give you things you've not heard from a live perspective. These are two things you'll never hear again — two new songs. We are going to do that. It's been fun already. The one we've done — the one that I've done with Tony has been really wonderful — just great to realize how magnificent a player he was. You forget that after 10 years at a time that you don't work with someone. So we are gonna be doing that. And I hope you'll like it. I think it'll be great."
On the rumors of him possibly rejoining BLACK SABBATH, Dio said, "There's always rumors about everything — about a RAINBOW reunion, about a BLACK SABBATH reunion. Our purpose was to do this because we wanted to have this product be a bit more special than anything else — not just, 'Here's a live track you've never heard before.' I mean, that's cool, but I'm sure people have heard that. We wanted to do something a bit more special, so the whole band would write and play these songs, and… They've wanted to hear them long enough, so here they are. But it's not anything that we've talked about leading to anything other than that. No, it's for that project."

I agree. You should check out all the comments on blabbermouth though. People are going crazy over the idea.

Cousin Itt:Short, very hairy man seen on the bizarre comedy THE ADDAMS FAMILY/ABC/1964-66. Cousin Itt (Felix Silla/Roger Arravo) stood three-feet tall, wore a brown derby hat, sunglasses, and was covered from head-to-toe with long locks of light brown hair that obscured his face and body. He often visited his relatives, the Addams who lived at 001 Cemetery Lane. Gomez Addams (John Astin) once said of Itt, "Inside all heart, outside all hair." Itt communicated via a high speed gibberish that only members of the Addams family seemed to understand.
I've made my homework!

I'm not going to get excited about this until there is some sort of official acknowledgement. But holy banana fudge sundae, this would be so awesome! This is like my dream for Ronnie. If I could have him get back with Rainbow or with Sabbath or do set of all solo material to my specific liking - I'd go with the Sabbath thing. Ronnie deserves to be playing with the caliber of musician that Tony, Geezer and Bill are.
My nightmare - this happens, and they only tour Europe. |

You close this discussion in the Dio section because it is already here in GENERAL CHAT!?!
Give me a break!
I think a possible Dio/Sabbath reunion is big news (or rumour). It's even a news article at the great and reliable www.black-sabbath.com where rumours are useally not mentioned as news.
And you think this should be discussed in GENERAL CHAT? Among weather, sports, fast food restaurants and other nonsense topics?
And this should be the official Dio message board. |

Its still just a rumour........ 
I don't see the problem about talking about a rumour in general chat....
When its offical....we can move the topic....until then it stays here. |

What makes me think this is a rumour is...one thing
Why can't the band be called Black Sabbath?
Dio was in Black Sabbath,the box set coming out is called Black Sabbath...The Dio Years....so why would they tour without the name Black Sabbath.
Dio has just as much right to the name as Ozzy. 
If Tony and Geezer are in the band...with Dio,I don't see who can stop them calling the band Black Sabbath.
Sharon should not even come into the equation. |
