Never say die, as the Black Sabbath song and album goes… and never say never when it comes to reunions – just ask KISS and Mötley Crüe. Even Sabbath had a so-called 'final' gig with the original members billed as the 'Last Supper' back in 1999, that proved to be nothing of the kind. But bassist Geezer Butler seems very much resigned to being retired from playing live now, and his reasoning suggests he really means it.
Firstly, when it comes to Sabbath doing the odd show following the last gig of The End tour in Birmingham in 2017 there's the obstacle of the 73-year-old musician no longer speaking to singer Ozzy Osbourne.
