Geezer Butler says that he's happy he and BLACK SABBATH mates Ozzy Osbourne and Tony Iommi "were able to come together and do one final album" - 13, which comes out June 11th.

Final? "Well, I guess you should never say never," the bassist tells Billboard. "It could be, though. We'll see how this album goes, see what happens."

And Osbourne, who's appearing on his first Sabbath studio album since 1978's Never Say Die, also prefers caution when talking about future Sabbath recordings. "Let's put it this way; it's taken us 35 years to do this one," he notes with a laugh. "So if there's gonna be (another) album there's gonna be an album but I don't want to say if there's going to be a follow-up. I wouldn't mind doing another Sabbath album with them, though."
