Black Sabbath have since released at least one authorised double-CD compilation, one double-CD live compilation, and an eight CD box set. Black Sabbath had writing sessions together in 2001, and played one new song ("Scary Dreams") on the subsequent tour. However, a new studio album has yet to be released. Black Sabbath initially began work on a new album in 2001 with legendary producer Rick Rubin, but Ozzy's solo contract has delayed, and perhaps killed, further progress on the album. Black Sabbath took three years off before returning to the road in 2004 to headline yet another Ozzfest tour, celebrating their 35th anniversary. For 2005, Ozzy Osbourne performed with Black Sabbath in his Ozzfest tour, which also featured Iron Maiden. On keyboards for 2005 shows was Rick Wakeman's son Adam.

In November 2005, Black Sabbath were inducted into the UK Music Hall of Fame, and the original line-up played at the awards ceremony. That same month it was also announced that Black Sabbath would be inducted into the US Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on March 13, 2006. This time Black Sabbath did not play any songs, instead having heavy metal legends Metallica play two Black Sabbath songs, "Hole in the Sky" and "Iron Man".

Current line-up:
Ozzy Osbourne - lead vocals
Tony Iommi - guitar
Geezer Butler - bass
Bill Ward - drums
