OZZY OSBOURNE Plans BLACK SABBATH Reunion For His Final Concert

Black Sabbath 2012

Despite health struggles, Ozzy Osbourne dreams of a BLACK SABBATH reunion for his final show, according to his former bandmate Geezer Butler.

In a recent interview with LifeMinute to promote the US release of his memoir Into The Void, Geezer Butler was asked by host Joann Butler about the possibility of a SABBATH reunion.

“I very much doubt it,” Butler said. “Maybe a one-off show. Ozzy was talking to me about when he does his farewell concert, which he still wants to do. He’s dying to still get out there and play. And he suggested at his very final concert for the four of us to get up on stage and maybe do three or four songs together, and then that would be it. Finished.

“But definitely no more tours it would just be a one-off thing.”

Ozzy previously said that he would love one more SABBATH concert with Bill Ward while discussing the final concert of SABBATH‘s “The End” tour, which occurred in February 2017 in their hometown of Birmingham.

When asked if he felt relieved it was over at that point, Osbourne replied: “Yeah, but I was sad that Bill wasn’t there. I mean, I mean, Tommy [Clufetos], my drummer [for my solo band], did a great job [stepping in for Bill], but he ain’t Bill Ward.”

When asked if he is satisfied with the legacy of BLACK SABBATHOzzy responded: “No. Because it wasn’t BLACK SABBATH that finished it. It’s unfinished. If they wanted to do one more gig with Bill, I would jump at the chance. Do you know what would be cool? If we went to a club or something unannounced and we just got up and did it. We started up in a club.”

BLACK SABBATH played their final concert on 4 February 2017 in Birmingham. The final song was streamed live on the band’s Facebook page and fireworks went off as the band took their final bow. On 7 March 2017, SABBATH announced their disbandment through posts made on their official social media accounts.
