Ex-Black Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler says “the time is right” for him to write his autobiography — so that’s exactly what he’s doing. “I started out because when my parents died, I always wished I’d asked them a lot more things than I knew about,” Butler says. “I don’t really know much about my mum and dad, ’cause they were always just there. So I started writing a memoir for my grandkids to read, and that’s been fun going through stuff — old times and growing up in Birmingham and all that. I’m right in the middle of doing that at the moment.”
Butler, who’s now 71, ended his 49-year career with Black Sabbath in 2017 when he and his bandmates wrapped up their “The End” tour in Birmingham.
Is Black Sabbath’s music still relevant today? What’s their best album?
