Ozzy Osbourne has shared that he would “jump at the chance” to play a final Black Sabbath show with co-founding drummer Bill Ward.Originally, Ward was part of the November 2011 Black Sabbath reunion but pulled out in early 2012, attributing an “‘unreasonable contract” as his reason for departure. Drummer Tommy Clufetos stepped in and performed live on the Black Sabbath Reunion Tour and the swansong The End Tour.Appearing on the most recent episode of The Madhouse Chronicles, Ozzy opened up about his career in Black Sabbath with his close friend Billy Morrison.

Ozzy Osbourne labelled him as a “fucking arsehole” for not reaching out following his struggles with Parkinson’s disease.The dispute between the two arose following comments the Black Sabbath frontman made in an interview with Rolling Stone, in which he reflected upon his recent medical worries and the support he has received from those around him.In the interview, Osbourne recalled how his bandmate Tony Iommi had supported him constantly throughout the health issues, although the same could not be said about fellow Black Sabbath member Geezer Butler.“You do find out who’s a genuine friend when you’ve been through what I’ve had,” Ozzy began told the outlet. “Tony Iommi has been so supportive of me since my illness.

Black Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler has recalled the time that his bandmate Tony Iommi was nearly “sacrificed” onstage by a “lunatic”.Speaking to Reader’s Digest, Butler reflected on growing up in a strict Catholic home, the band’s “satanic” imagery and how that resulted in several weird experiences for the metal pioneers.“My dad wasn’t very pleased when he saw the inverted cross on the sleeve of our first album. But, generally, nobody in the UK or Europe cared that much about our Satanic imagery,” Butler shared.He went on to explain: “In the US, though, people would threaten us and turn up at our gigs with crosses and bibles. In Nashville, someone jumped on stage and went for Tony with a knife.

A note that said "Ozzy Zig needs a gig" left in a music shop led to the forming of Black Sabbath, according to its members.  Founding member Geezer Butler told the Wall Street Journal that he saw Ozzy Osbourne’s note while in a Birmingham shop when he was actively looking for a singer after his band Rare Breed broke up. "I left word at his house," Butler said.

Black Sabbath’s Geezer Butler has set a release date for his upcoming memoir, Into The Void: From Birth To Black Sabbath. The memoir will trace the founding Black Sabbath bassist’s personal and professional life. The latter topic will include a recount of Black Sabbath’s multiple line-up changes and internal struggles, as well as the band’s “beginnings as a scrappy blues quartet”, according to the book’s synopsis.The book will be released this year on June 6 2023, something Butler described on Instagram as “6/6/6” as “2×3=6”.In the full post, which you can see below, Butler wrote: “After spending my entire life creating memories, to eventually set aside how reserved I am, I have put pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard).“The recollection of my life (thus far) is coming out 6/6/23.

Although [producer] Rick Rubin is a good friend of mine, I wasn’t really… I was just singing.“It was like stepping back in time, but it wasn’t a glorious period.
