Tony Martin (rock singer)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Anthony Martin Harford (born April 19, 1957) was the vocalist for Black Sabbath from 1987 to 1991 and again from 1993 to 1996. Martin was the band's longest-serving vocalist other than Ozzy Osbourne.

He was dismissed from the band in 1991 to accommodate the reunion of the Mob Rules lineup: Tony Iommi, Vinny Appice, Geezer Butler and Ronnie James Dio. Martin returned in 1993 and left again in 1996 while the band was on hiatus. He was not "officially" dismissed until 1999.[citation needed]

Martin has since been involved in many other projects (such as the Tony Martin Band, M3, The Alliance, Misha Calvin, The Cage, Giuntini Project II), yet is most remembered for his time in Sabbath, a gig he originally was somewhat reluctant to pursue. [citation needed]
