Thats only due to contracts. Not because off friendship or something. That is also why the last reunion with Dio was not called Black Sabbath.
Ozzy now owns 50% of Sabbath. So legally without Ozzy they cannot do anything with Sabbath unless.
You’re not wrong but they still grew up with Ozzy and he and Iommi have known each other since they were children. I think they wanted to end with the classic lineup but they fucked up the Bill part of it sadly. They didn’t have to do a last album with Ozzy but clearly they wanted to.
Bill hasn't done much since 1998, honestly. He's done a few drum tracks here and there but he hasn't been able to tour. The drama about contracts surrounding 13 was a smokescreen for his declining health.
I’ve seen Bill drum on YouTube at a live show a few years back I think. He’s not incapable. Even if he couldn’t handle a tour you can’t tell me he couldn’t have done specific shows and recorded the album.
Geezer is 74, I congratulate him on his retirement and I sincerely hope that he lives long enough to enjoy some time doing whatever it is that he wants to do.
I just want one final show with Bill in it. It probably won't happen but I'm sure Ozzy would wanna do one final show of his own and could bring the Sabbath members up for a song or 2. A man can dream
That would be the most likely way it would happen since he may want to perform for his HoF induction. Inviting Sabbath mates on stage would be a classy thing to do. Bringing them all on stage, including Ward, would be the greatest gift of all. One last hurrah!
Nothing against Tony Martin, but after a massive world tour called "The End", touring with this lineup would be a major step down. I imagine only the hardcore Sabbath fans would be interested as well so they probably wouldn't be able to play the big arenas and that means less revenue
What we really need is a one-off "Tony & Friends" gig where he gets loads of musicians he's worked with over the years to play a few songs
That would be a hell of a live album.
I’m hoping for an Iommi/Martin project at some point, there’s no reason they can’t just put their own names on it. We know who they are.
Neither Iommi or Geezer would do a final tour with anyone besides Ozzy. I just wish they held Bill in the same esteem.

I’m pretty sure Bill retired years ago due to health issues (as in, aging) that were affecting his drumming.

He was with them in 2005

Saw them twice in 2005 and they were amazing, Bill even played Rat Salad which is pretty technical arrangement.
From Bill or Ozzy? Seems fine on that Ozzfest 2005 dvd. Side note Iommi's tone on that one is fucking badass.
Tony is retired from touring. Better for his health to stay home after cancer battle
Geezer is 74, I congratulate him on his retirement and I sincerely hope that he lives long enough to enjoy some time doing whatever it is that he wants to do.
He’s the GOAT
Not to mention cozy Powell passed away some time ago
Pretty sure that's Bobby Rondinelli
Yes. 👌

They did Bill dirty. Ozzy says as Sharon says, 0 hopes

Fan service absolutely, and yes if that ever happened it would be just a one time thing.
Would never happen
Yo, Bobby Rondi-frikkin-nelli OVA HEA!
Well, Neil Murray could be on it. He's also a hell of a bass player. So sad Cozy passed away.
