During a recent interview with Q104.3, Black Sabbath’s Geezer Butler reflected on the band’s final tour. He also revealed that Ozzy Osbourne has expressed a desire to reunite the band during his final concert.

Butler said the following about Black Sabbath’s farewell:

“It was great. I mean, we knew that physically it was becoming a hard, especially Tony [Iommi] had cancer at the time and he just said, ‘I think I’ve got one more tour left in me and that’s it. That’s all I can do.’ And so we put that two together as the final thing. We all would have loved to have Bill [Ward] with us, but Bill’s a proud guy. He’s had heart problems and everything. And we said, ‘Well, just come out and do, like, three songs or something,’ and he said, ‘No. I either do the whole thing or I’m not doing any of it.’ And so, fair enough. And so we just carried on to the end, and that was it.”

He also added the following about Osbourne’s hopes to reunite the band for a final performance:

“Yeah. Ozzy desperately wants to do, ’cause of his health conditions, he desperately wants to do a final Ozzy Osbourne [solo] concert. And he said to me, ‘I’d love Sabbath to do a couple of songs, two or three songs, as the final show ever’ — Ozzy’s final show and Sabbath’s final show. And I said, ‘Yeah, I’m up for it, definitely.’ But I’m not sure what the others are up to. Me and Ozzy, we’re up for it. But whether Tony and Bill would do it, I don’t know.”
