January to mid 1983

Black Sabbath  

People involved

Geezer Butler (bss); Ian Gillan (vcl); Tony Iommi (gtr); Bill Ward (drm); and Geoff Nicholls (kbr).

Gillan was "drunked" under the table, after which he accepted to sing lead for Black Sabbath. Although a somewhat suprising constellation, they managed to record a superb album. It also helped Gillan through rough financial times.
