In regards to Butler’s personal life, the book will chronicle the bassist’s working-class upbringing in Birmingham, his abandoned career as an accountant, and his “disillusionment with organized religion and class systems”.Into the Void marks the third memoir written by a member of Black Sabbath’s original line-up.
