Seventh Star is the twelfth studio album by the English heavy metal band Black Sabbath. Released on 20 January 1986 in the United States and on 17 February 1986 in the United Kingdom, it features founding guitarist Tony Iommi alongside musicians Geoff Nicholls, Eric Singer, and Dave Spitz, playing keyboards, drums, and bass, respectively, and Glenn Hughes as lead singer. The album was the group's first release without bassist and primary lyricist Geezer Butler, who left the band in 1984 after the Born Again tour. Seventh Star was originally intended as the first solo album by Iommi. Because of the pressures from Warner Bros. Records and the prompting of band manager Don Arden, the record was billed as Black Sabbath featuring Tony Iommi. Despite the complications behind the album's production, it earned moderate commercial success and reaching number 27 in the UK and number 78 on the Billboard 200 chart.
