Black Sabbath were named Living Legends and took home a total of three honors at the 2013 Classic Rock Awards at the Roundhouse in London Thursday night.

The big winners of the event, put on by Classic Rock magazine, Black Sabbath were honored as Living Legends, Album Of The Year for “13”, and Event Of The Year for hitting No. 1 in the UK after 43 years of releasing records. Sabbath’s Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler were on hand for the awards presentations.

Tony Iommi said: "Thanks for everything. It's great to see all these old and new faces. It's fantastic to get the awards," he continued. "When we started out we never thought about it, you just wanted to play. Even this time now, we never thought for a minute it would get to number one, we just wanted to make an album."

Tony, who is being treated for cancer, said: "The treatment is going alright, I had one 10 days ago."

WELL DONE DEAR GUYS! You deserve that and much more again!
"There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens...
Time to sow and a time to reap the rewards..."

CONGRATULATIONS!!!
