Which Black Sabbath album features Glenn Hughes as lead vocalist? Seventh Star does.

Released in 1986, Seventh Star grew from a Tony Iommi solo project rather than a conventional Black Sabbath reunion. Iommi recruited former Deep Purple and Trapeze singer Glenn Hughes, drummer Eric Singer, bassist Dave Spitz, and keyboardist Geoff Nicholls. Hughes originally expected to sing on only one track, but ultimately handled the lead vocals across the album.

The release became a source of confusion because Warner Bros. would not issue it as an Iommi solo album. It therefore appeared as Black Sabbath featuring Tony Iommi, with the band name retaining commercial priority. Geezer Butler was absent, making this a markedly different lineup from the classic early-1970s records.

A common mix-up is The Eternal Idol, which introduced Tony Martin, or Born Again, which featured Ian Gillan. Seventh Star instead stands apart for Hughes's blues-influenced, high-register vocal style and its hard-rock direction. It reached number 78 on the Billboard 200.
