Black Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler has opened up on the chances of the band getting back together for one final show – see what he had to say below.Earlier this month, Ozzy Osbourne revealed that he would “jump at the chance” to play a final Black Sabbath show with co-founding drummer Bill Ward, who backed out of playing the band’s reunion shows between 2011 and 2017 over an “unreasonable” contract.Now, Butler has chimed in on Osbourne’s desire for a final Black Sabbath performance with their original line-up, telling SirisuXM‘s Eddie Trunk that he and Osbourne have “agreed” to play one last show.As transcribed by Blabbermouth, Butler said: “Of course there’s an interest [on my part to do it], but there’s a big ‘but’ — you’d have to speak to Bill [Ward] about it.

Everybody wants to do it [but I don’t know if he is] capable [of pulling it off].”Butler added: “Ozzy was hoping to finish it all off next year back in Aston, at the Aston Villa [football stadium in Birmingham].

I’m definitely up for it, to finish the whole thing off. Me and Ozzy have agreed, but I’m not sure about anybody else.”When asked if Ward would be willing to join the band for a few songs or perhaps a recording session, the bassist replied: “I don’t think so.

Maybe, I don’t know. I mean, the way technical things happen these days, maybe a couple of songs, but who knows? There wouldn’t be any traveling involved.
