If all goes to plan, Ozzy Osbourne will reunite with his former Black Sabbath bandmates one more time if his health allows him to take the stage.

Although there has been some back and forth between band members over whether or not a reunion would actually be feasible -- let alone frontman Ozzy Osbourne’s deteriorating health the last few years -- guitarist Tony Iommi, bassist Geezer Butler, and founding drummer Bill Ward may actually come together for a final Black Sabbath performance after all.
“Ozzy was talking to me about, when he does his farewell concert – which he still wants to do,” Butler recently told Lifeminute while discussing his memoir, 'Into the Void: From Birth to Black Sabbath-And Beyond.' “He’s dying to still get out there and play, and he suggested, at his very final concert, for the four of us to get up on stage and maybe do three or four songs together. And that would be it, finished.”
Strictly a one-off, he adds, and “definitely no more tours.”
"I'm in for playing some of everyone's old favourites. Loved playing them then. I'd love to play them one last time," drummer Bill Ward said of a possible reunion over the summer. "I’m not going to talk about my health publicly except to say, everyday I’m pretty good for 76 years old," he adds. "I’m active musically every day, and I have a very busy and gratifying life. Love you all, all the f***ng time."
