OZZY OSBOURNE: I'm Sorry To Hear About RONNIE JAMES DIO Having Cancer

January 20, 2010

In the new issue of Rolling Stone magazine, Ozzy Osbourne talks about some of the most incredible stories in his new memoir "I Am Ozzy", from freaking out Betty Ford to the worst results of his reality show. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow below.

On whether another BLACK SABBATH reunion is possible:

"I'm not gonna say I've written it out forever. But right now I don't think there is any chance. But who knows what the future holds for me? If it's my destiny, fine."

On getting together with BLACK SABBATH ten years ago to try and record the original band's first album since 1978's "Never Say Die":

"I tried and I couldn't do it. When we were kids we used to smoke dope, we all used to get drunk, we all used to do fucking cocaine, and any other fucking pill in the arsenal. It would stall all our fucking inhibitions. And I've changed now that I've been away from SABBATH thirty-odd years. I was only with them for 10 years. I had girlfriends when I was younger and I would go, 'Oh, I would really like to go back with Shirley,' and then you do and you go to yourself, 'What the fuck was I thinking?' You're never the same, you know."

On early 1980s BLACK SABBATH vocalist Ronnie James Dio undergoing chemotherapy for stomach cancer:

"I'm sorry to hear about Ronnie having cancer. It must be really fucking scary for the poor boy."
