On Saturday (11th), the Grammy Salute to Music Legends was hosted in Los Angeles, CA and Black Sabbath members Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler attended. During the night, the two reunited with the band’s original drummer Bill Ward and were honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award by the The Recording Academy.

Rival Sons performed a special medley of “War Pigs”, “Changes” and Paranoid” for the band and presented them the award.

Both Iommi and Geezer posted a picture of the three on Twitter:

What an experience. We @rivalsons got to present a @recordingacademy Lifetime Achievement Award to @blacksabbath last night, AND perform a medley of their songs, RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM, and a vast array of other stars and legends, at the @dolbytheatre In Hollywood. I got to sit down with @billwarddrummer for a few precious moments; talking about jazz, feel, and rhythm, and other life stuff. What a treat. What a legend and what a sweetheart “Wardy” is. Thanks to @allthetrulyblessed and @mikenielanddrums for the opportunity.
