Heaven & Hell (band)

Heaven & Hell was a British-American heavy metal supergroup (band made of people who have already made successful music). The band was made by Black Sabbath members Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler, as well as Dio members Ronnie James Dio and Vinny Appice. The band's name is from the first Black Sabbath album with Ronnie James Dio on it, Heaven & Hell.

Past member(s)

The four members of Heaven & Hell had been making music and playing live shows as Black Sabbath since 1980. When they went on tour in 2007, they renamed themselves to Heaven & Hell. This is because Ozzy Osbourne, Black Sabbath's original singer, had made his own version of the band to play music with. Iommi has said he did not want fans to be confused by there being two different bands named Black Sabbath.[1]

The band ended after Dio died from stomach cancer in 2010.[2]
