It’s been five years since Black Sabbath announced their second hiatus and they’re not coming back anytime soon. Ozzy Osbourne recently revealed he’s open to reuniting with his old bandmates, but they won’t be performing under the Black Sabbath moniker if that happens.
In the most recent episode of SiriusXM’s Ozzy Speaks, the co-host Billy Morison asked Osbourne if his recent collaboration with the guitarist Tony Iommi means they’ll plotting a Black Sabbath reunion, but he doesn’t seem to be interested in that idea.
“It was very successful for a lot of years, and people wanted to see us. I did that farewell tour… I would work with any of them individually. But as Black Sabbath, I think it’s [over]. We couldn’t really beat what we’ve already done,” said Osbourne.
He also added that the only sad part of the farewell tour was that Bill Ward wasn’t there, but they’ve spoken since and they’re on good terms. He added that the music he made with Sabbath is completely different from what he’s into now and that he doesn’t want to do the same thing over and over again.
Osbourne and Iommi joined forces on the track “Degradation Rules” from the singer’s latest album Patient Number 9, which came out on September 9.
