Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi did an interview recently where he said that popular singer Michael Bolton auditioned for the band in the '80s.
"There was a lot looking for another singer, and we'd audition various singers, including Michael Bolton, believe it or not . . . he was one of them, which was an odd one," Iommi said. "It just went on a bit, and we couldn't decide..
"Eventually, it came to Ian Gillan, and we [got> him."
Watch the video below to see what the guitarist said about Bolton.
Bolton, in an interview a few years ago, denied that he'd auditioned for the band saying it was just a rumor.
