What Geezer Butler Said About Black Sabbath’s Reunion Show

Posting to his Instagram account, Butler offered, “Looking forward to seeing you all on July the 5th at Villa Park.

What Tony Iommi Had to Say?

Butler’s statement follows one issued by guitarist Tony Iommi earlier today.

“It’s been an incredible journey, but it’s only fitting that it ends here, where it all began in Aston,” stated Iommi through his X social media account.

“It’s great to be honoured by your fellow musicians and at the same time support good causes. None of this would’ve been possible without Ozzy, Geezer, and Bill. What we created together was bigger than any one of us, and I’ll always be grateful for that,” he concluded.
