NEW YORK — Ozzy Osbourne has accused former Black Sabbath bandmate Tony Iommi in a New York City court of taking over the heavy-metal titans’ name and costing him royalties from merchandise sales.
Osbourne, right, sued the guitarist last week and issued a statement Friday imploring him to “do the right thing.”
Osbourne filed suit Tuesday in a federal court in New York. The lawsuit says Iommi falsely claimed to have sole rights to Black Sabbath’s trademark in recent negotiations with a company that sells the band’s merchandise.
