There once was a time that Black Sabbath legend Ronnie James Dio was included amongst the list of guest stars appearing in Brutal Legend. That time has passed. But donât worry. You should see whoâs replacing him.
While no official reason was given for the move, it may have something to do with this lawsuit, brought by Ozzy Osbourne against former guitarist Tony Iommi. The suit sees Ozzy trying to reclaim a stake in the âBlack Sabbathâ trademark, and since Ozzy is also due to appear in Brutal Legend, it appears that legally that town may have only been big enough for one Black Sabbath vocalist.
