Billboard.com has issued a new Q&A; with OZZY OSBOURNE. The following is an excerpt:

Q: How are you feeling about things in your music life now?

A: "Well, the band I have now, I'm having the most fun I've had in a long time. We all have a good time together on stage. I'm yet to record a whole album with them, but there will be an album. I'm sure there will be."

Q: No OZZFest, but you'll be doing some live shows this summer, yes?

A: "I know that I'll do some gigs in Europe and around England for the rest of the tour. I put all my irons in the fire, and whatever turns out the best I go for. I have the great thing of choice now; if I don't want to do something, I don't have to. Maybe I'll do a reunion with BLACK SABBATH; I'm here if they want to call me."

Q: "Could that really happen? Geezer (Butler) has said no way.

A: "Well, you know, it's rumbling about. I'm sure eventually somebody will pop the question in a serious manner. I'm having such a good time in my band now, I don't want to go back and have an unhappy time. I'd love to do another great Black Sabbath album to say, 'Here we are. We can still do what we started out to do.' But the longer it goes on, the more pressure it is, 'cause I don't want people to go, 'We waited so many years for this and this is all you have to offer?' The pressure's on if you're gonna do that. You really have to be dedicated to what you do. If it's meant to happen, it'll happen; if it's not meant to happen, it won't."
