Geezer Butler Says He Also Would Like to do One More Gig with Black Sabbath

UPDATE TO BELOW STORY:

Add Geezer Butler to the list of original Black Sabbath members that would want to do one more gig.

Butler told Eddie Trunk, “Of course there’s an interest, but there’s a big ‘but’ – you’d have to speak to Bill [Ward] about it.” Butler said that he's not sure that Ward could pull off playing a full show. He added that he has been in touch with Ward, but that the drummer is "not on e-mail and I hate the phone. So, I send e-mails to his wife, who passes it on to Bill."

All this reunion talk started when Ozzy Osbourne said on his podcast that he'd want to do one more show with Bill Ward. And Tony Iommi told Eddie Trunk that it was "a nice idea" that he'd want to do, but "but whether it happens will be another thing. But we’ll see.”

The last time the original lineup of Sabbath played a full concert was in West Palm Beach, Florida, on September 4th, 2005.

Ozzy Osbourne has mentioned his regrets about the end of Black Sabbath in multiple interviews over the years, and he's done it again in the latest episode of The Madhouse Chronicles.

Ozzy told his co-host Billy Morrison that when Sabbath played their final show in 2017, "I was sad that Bill [Ward] wasn't there. I mean, Tommy [Clufetos], my [solo] drummer, did a great job, but he ain't Bill Ward."

And when Morrison asked if he is happy overall with the way the band wrapped up, Ozzy said, "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."

In other Sabbath-related news, bassist Geezer Butler's memoir, Into the Void: From Birth to Black Sabbath – And Beyond, will be published in paperback on June 18th.
