“Tony Iommi has been so supportive of me since my illness. Geezer Butler hasn’t given me one phone call": Ozzy Osbourne is gutted that his ex-Black Sabbath bandmate Geezer Butler doesn't want to know him anymore

Frosty: Ozzy and Geezer.

Ozzy Osbourne says that he's "very fucking sad" that his old friend and long-time bandmate Geezer Butler doesn't seem to want to know him anymore. And the former friendship between the pair is unlikely to be mended by the singer calling the bassist a "Fucking arsehole" in a new interview.

In his autobiography Into The Void, Butler admitted that the two musicians no longer speak, writing, "Me and Ozzy are fine, it's just that we're both ruled by our wives. He's got a big heart and was always there for me in times of trouble... We might not be as close as we were, but we'll always be brothers."
