It didn\u2019t happen, although he didn\u2019t explain why. Rage Against the Machine<\/a> drummer Brad Wilk did the sessions instead.<\/p>\n In an Instagram post replication Sharon Osbourne<\/a>\u2019s message (below), Starkey admitted it was something of a regret not to have been part of Black Sabbath\u2019s history.<\/p>\n READ MORE:\u00a0<\/strong>Zak Starkey’s Advice to Barry Keoghan for Playing Ringo Starr<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cZak, Black Sabbath is headlining Download on June 10 and then Lollapalooza in August,\u201d Sharon wrote. The guys need a drummer for their album, which will be recorded in September with Rick Rubin<\/a> producing. We would probably need you for 2-3 weeks for the album.<\/p>\n \u201cAlso, they need a drummer to play at Lollapalooza which is on August 3 in Chicago. Also, Ozzy wants to have sex with you while he is singing Iron Man<\/em>.

This is one (not the sex part!).<\/p>\n \u201cOzzy will always be one of the greatest, natural, brilliant singers of all time. I send much love and strength to his family at this sad sad time. If u aren\u2019t familiar with the Never Say Die<\/em> record, get into it. It\u2019s so far out.\u201d<\/p>\n In June 2025 Starkey revealed the dispute that got him fired, re-hired then fired again from the Who<\/a> meant he missed the chance to rejoin Oasis<\/a> for their reunion tour.<\/p>\n The drummer became a touring member of the Gallagher brothers\u2019 band in 2004 and made a number of appearances until 2008, while remaining with the Who.<\/p>\n Asked if he\u2019d have been part of the reunion if he hadn\u2019t been in the Who, Starkey replied<\/a>: \u201cOf course.
