Black Sabbath sadly ended with only three-fourths of its classic lineup in tact. Vocalist Ozzy Osbourne, guitarist Tony Iommi, and bassist Geezer Butler recorded their final album 13 and embarked on a farewell tour without original drummer Bill Ward, who quit the band in 2012 due to contract disputes.
There’s been loose talk of one final actual Black Sabbath show featuring the original lineup lately with Osbourne on board, Iommi down for it, and Butler expressing his own approval. Now Ward has finally broken his silence on the matter, shockingly saying that he’s down too!
“Hey ya, Bill Ward checking in regarding all the updates on a possible Sabbath show in England,” wrote Ward.
“I’m in for playing some of everyone’s old favorites. Loved playing them then, I’d love to play them one last time. I’m not going to talk about my health publicly except to say, everyday I’m pretty good for 76 years old, I’m active musically every day, and I have a very busy and gratifying life.
“Love you all, all the fucking time.”
So there you go – everyone in Black Sabbath is down. When’s this happening, guys?!
