News about Geezer Butler

The Old Mill House in Monmouth, South Wales, was part of the legendary Rockfield studios where Oasis, Queen, Black Sabbath, The Stone Roses, and Coldplay all hit records. The Manic Street Preachers, Stereophonics, Biffy Clyro, and Busted have all recorded at Monnow Valley in recent years, and the house is steeped in musical history. Jo Riou, the current owner, has operated the Old Mill House as a separate studio named Monnow Valley Studio, as well as a holiday home and company center, but the property is now listed as a foreclosure. "Rockfield will always be a part of me," Jo says. I can go to live in Beverly Hills, but for some reason, I wind up in Rockfield. It's just magic.'

When Ozzy Osbourne claimed that the bassist never came out during his health fight, he branded him a 'f***ing a***hole.' In a recent interview with Rolling Stone UK, the rocker, 74, who was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease in 2003, revealed that doctors discovered a tumor in his spine after a fourth operation on his back following a 2019 fall. In 1968, the band was formed by the four original members, guitarist Tony Iommi, drummer Bill Ward, bassist Geezer Butler, and himself.

Geezer Butler, a Birmingham boy, says he 'chain-reads' books and that he always has one on the go. Michael Magee's Close to Home (that he adored) has just finished.

Ozzy Osbourne was turned down for a big gig after overdosing on Night Nurse during his Black Sabbath days, but his bandmates now say they feared the worst. As the heavy metal legend, 74, didn't turn up, it resulted in a man hunt as his Black Sabbath comrades assumed he had been dead or kidnapped. In his latest book The Void, band's bass player Geezer Butler revealed they were in Nashville on their Never Say Die! When Ozzy didn't turn up, he was on tour with Van Halen.
