In the mid-1980s, Hughes recorded several different albums with bands and artists including [[Phenomena (band)|Phenomena]] (''Phenomena'', ''Phenomena II: Dream Runner''), [[Gary Moore]] (''[[Run for Cover (Gary Moore album)|Run for Cover]]''), and [[Black Sabbath]] (''[[Seventh Star]]''; originally a solo album by Sabbath guitarist [[Tony Iommi]] that was released as a Sabbath album due to record label pressure).<ref name=ug/>

Hughes' health problems due to overeating, drugs and alcohol began to seriously affect his musical projects and this contributed to very short stints with Gary Moore and Tony Iommi, as Hughes was unable to tour with them properly due to his poor health. In 1985 Black Sabbath reunited with original vocalist [[Ozzy Osbourne]] for their one-off [[Live Aid]] performance. While waiting for a break in Osbourne's career, Iommi decided to record a solo album and Hughes was brought in to provide the vocals. Due to the aforementioned contractual obligations with the record company, the album was credited to ''Black Sabbath featuring Tony Iommi'' and released in 1986 to generally positive critical reviews. While touring to promote the new album, Hughes was replaced by vocalist [[Ray Gillen]] after just six shows; this was due both to injury from a confrontation with Black Sabbath's production manager John Downing, which contributed to a degradation in his voice, and his not being in good enough physical shape to complete the tour.<ref name=dptree/>

Hughes's first bass guitar was a salmon pink, pre-CBS Fender Jazz Bass. During his tenure in Trapeze, he played a Fender Jazz Bass as well as a [[Rickenbacker 4001]] on the Deep Purple albums ''[[Burn (Deep Purple album)|Burn]]'', ''[[Stormbringer (album)|Stormbringer]]'', and ''[[Come Taste the Band]]''. This Rickenbacker was eventually given to [[Black Sabbath]] bassist [[Geezer Butler]], who subsequently used it on the [[Never Say Die!]] tour in 1978.
