IOMMI/HUGHES: 'Eighth Star' To See Official Release In The Fall

August 4, 2004

Former DEEP PURPLE/BLACK SABBATH singer Glenn Hughes has posted the following message on his web site:

"I had dinner with [BLACK SABBATH guitarist] Tony Iommi on Sunday night. We are pleased to announce that the album which was originally bootlegged [issued under the title 'Eighth Star' and featuring material originally recorded back in 1996 for what was then to be Tony Iommi's first official solo release and later abandoned for what eventually did become Tony's first official solo album, 'Iommi' — Ed.] will be officially released with an extra track called 'Time Is the Healer'. It has been re mixed and mastered. It will be out on Sanctuary this fall. I will be going to the U.K. in October to write with Tony for a future project.

"Manne Guitars and myself are working on a signature bass guitar. The first prototype was used last weekend in Iowa. The bass is designed by myself and features a classic funk rock sound. It is a work in progress. It will be released
to coincide with my next studio CD next spring. For more information their website is: www.manne.com."
