Geezer Butler rules out future gigs with Black Sabbath and explains retirement from touring in general

Geezer Butler attends the Ozzy Osbourne and Corey Taylor special announcement press conference on May 12, 2016 in Hollywood, California

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.

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.
