Black Sabbath members Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, and Geezer Butler, among others, talked about the band and its music in an exclusive interview on Classic Rock 224 issue in 2016, here quoted via the Louder article published on November 17, 2024. In one part of the interview, the band talked about a potential twentieth Sabbath album:

"Tony: As a matter of fact, yeah, I thought we may do another album, so I wrote a bit of stuff. But we never a hundred per cent decided we were going to do an album. We talked about how we’d like to do another album, and then when it came to the crunch, we had a meeting and everybody wasn’t on the same page with it."

Geezer Butler added:

"Geezer: I was the main one that said let’s just concentrate on the doing the final tour, and if an album’s got to come out, we’ve got plenty of time after the tour to do it. I think Ozzy was a bit relieved."

Ozzy Osbourne stated:

"Ozzy: It would take three years. I‘m fu****g sixty-seven now, and I’d be seventy by the time we got to tour. I said: 'If we do another album we’d be fucking dead before we had chance to tour it.'”

Black Sabbath's upcoming show will be the first time the original lineup plays together in over twenty years, specifically Bill Ward. While the other three have played together till 2017, Bill Ward has not performed with Black Sabbath since 2005.
