Black Sabbath<\/a><\/strong> sadly ended with only three-fourths of its classic lineup in tact. Vocalist Ozzy Osbourne<\/strong>, guitarist Tony Iommi<\/strong>, and bassist Geezer Butler<\/strong> recorded their final album 13<\/em> and embarked on a farewell tour without original drummer Bill Ward<\/strong>, who quit the band in 2012 due to contract disputes.<\/p>\n There’s been loose talk of one final actual Black Sabbath<\/a><\/strong> show featuring the original lineup lately with Osbourne<\/strong> on board<\/a>, Iommi<\/strong> down for it<\/a>, and Butler<\/strong> expressing his own approval<\/a>. Now Ward<\/strong> has finally broken his silence on the matter, shockingly saying that he’s down too!<\/p>\n “Hey ya, Bill Ward<\/strong> checking in regarding all the updates on a possible Sabbath<\/a><\/strong> show in England,” wrote Ward<\/strong>. <\/p>\n “I\u2019m in for playing some of everyone\u2019s old favorites. Loved playing them then, I\u2019d love to play them one last time. I\u2019m not going to talk about my health publicly except to say, everyday I\u2019m pretty good for 76 years old, I\u2019m active musically every day, and I have a very busy and gratifying life.<\/p>\n “Love you all, all the fucking time.”<\/p>\n So there you go \u2013 everyone in Black Sabbath<\/a><\/strong> is down. When’s this happening, guys?!<\/p>\n
