Geezer's wife Gloria Butler took to social media and posted a picture of him at a medical facility, wearing a face mask. She also revealed he has been diagnosed with the lung infection after doctors had previously ruled out a string of other conditions, including Covid-19.

 

Judging by Gloria's tone, and her joke that men make the worst patients, it appears 73-year-old Geezer will be just fine.

 

She says: "After day one at doctor with my husband and was told he was negative for flu, Covid, strep and tonsillitis, I said 'well, he’s positive for being a pain in my arse.'

 

"Day two at doctor he was told he has pneumonia. Although still positive for being a pain, I now feel guilty for thinking that."

 

Gloria was the manager of supergroup HEAVEN & HELL, which featured Geezer along with guitarist Tony Iommi, vocalist Ronnie James Dio and drummer Vinny Appice.
