BLACK SABBATH marked the release of their new album, 13, with a special live event on Tuesday (June 11th). All three members – Tony Iommi, Ozzy Osbourne, and Geezer Butler – took part in the Black Sabbath Town Hall via Google+ Hangout streamed live on YouTube and Google+ and broadcast Live On Ozzy’s Boneyard On SiriusXM.

Ozzy and Geezer appeared from the live event at Angel Orensanz Foundation, For Contemporary Art, with Tony Iommi beaming in from Birmingham, England.

According to NME, Black Sabbath are battling UK act BEADY EYE (featuring former OASIS members) for the #1 spot on this week’s Official UK Album Chart. The Official Charts Company reports that there are just 4,500 sales between the two albums. 13 is the first Black Sabbath studio album to feature Ozzy Osbourne on vocals since ‘Never Say Die!’ in 1978. Should they hold on to the top spot, it will be their first UK Number One album since Paranoid in 1970.
