OZZY On Other BLACK SABBATH Members: 'I Have Nothing But Love And Praise For Those Guys'

July 28, 2006

Ozzy Osbourne recently spoke to The Star-Ledger about his participation in this summer's Ozzfest after announcing last year that he'd be retiring from his namesake tour.

"For the last few years," says Osbourne, 57, "I'd do a show, and my voice would blow out, and I'm going, 'This is f------ crazy.' So at the end of the day, I went to my throat doctor. I said, 'What's wrong with me?' He said, 'Nothing.' And I'm going, 'Well, something's got to be wrong.' So, to make a long story short, I went to this doctor who put me on antidepressants. And it's worked.

"It makes sense, that (your voice suffers) if you're wound up and thinking crazy thoughts, or you're depressed."

On whether BLACK SABBATH will ever reunite, Osbourne said, "I'll never say never again. But saying that, when we first came out (with a BLACK SABBATH reunion),the excitement was huge. Then we brought them back again, and brought them back again, and brought them back again, and people said, 'Oh f- - -, it's BLACK SABBATH again.'

"I have nothing but love and praise for those guys. I think the (time of) slagging each other off is long gone, which I'm glad about, and I wish them all well. And, if (wife-manager) Sharon (Osbourne) says, 'We've got a gig here, and they want SABBATH' ... I suppose I'll do it."
