Geezer Butler remains actively engaged with Ozzy Osbourne, and he has shared that the legendary frontman is eager to reunite Black Sabbath for a memorable send-off during his farewell concert. Butler recounted during a recent conversation with Lifeminute, “Ozzy was expressing his desire to perform again, and he is particularly enthusiastic about the idea of bringing the original lineup back together for one last time. He suggested that at his final concert, it would be incredible for the four of us to take the stage and perhaps play three or four of our classic hits together. That would mark the end of an era.”

Butler emphasized that any potential Black Sabbath reunion would be a unique and singular event. “This would definitely not lead to any more tours,” the bassist clarified, highlighting the importance of this moment for both the band and their devoted fans, who have supported them throughout their remarkable career.

The last official concert performed by Black Sabbath occurred in 2017, marking a significant milestone in the band’s storied history. Although some members have shared the stage since then, such as Ozzy Osbourne and Tony Iommi’s performance of “Paranoid” at the 2022 Commonwealth Games, the true reunion of the original lineup dates back to 2005. This makes the anticipation for a potential comeback even more poignant for fans who have cherished their music over the decades.

In recent years, Osbourne’s persistent health challenges have limited his ability to perform live. The iconic frontman, who continues to face complications from multiple back surgeries along with a diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease, was initially slated to join the 2023 Power Trip music festival lineup. Unfortunately, he had to withdraw from the event. Osbourne also aspired to perform at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony this year, where he was celebrated for his solo achievements, but ultimately passed the opportunity to a group of renowned musicians who honored his legacy by performing his classic tracks.
