In a new interview with Rock Hard Greece, former Black Sabbath singer, Tony Martin, talked about Black Sabbath and the opportunity as the group to reunite.
Here’s what the singer said:
“I asked Tony directly. I said, ‘Are you guys planning to do something with Ozzy [Osbourne] again?’ I said, ‘Just tell me so then I can plan what I’m gonna do.’ He said, ‘No, no, no, no. It’s all just rumors.’ Yeah, right. Everybody’s talking in the business about it. My manager had told me. So I kind of knew it was coming; I just didn’t know when. I don’t think they really knew when. But they sort of denied it and denied it. But then it was gonna happen anyway.”
“To be honest, I think getting Ozzy back after that, that was the right thing to do. It couldn’t go anywhere else. They couldn’t get another singer and start again. I think it was the right thing to do. And I still think there’s an opportunity out there for them because they’re all still alive. Bill [Ward, original Sabbath drummer] is still out there.
”And if you think about what Def Leppard did with their drummer. They’ve got a one-armed drummer, DL, and they waited until they got a drum kit and he could play with one hand. If they can do that for a one-armed drummer, it’s possible they could do something with Bill. It’s just time. That’s all, really. So I still think there’s an opportunity there.”
