Doubt Over Bill Ward’s Presence In Black Sabbath’s Reunion

• 7th Feb 2012

Comeback of the metal legends, Black Sabbath, is heldback by a dispute over contract terms as Bill Wards refuses to sign.

Black Sabbath fans were caught off guard by a message that appeared on Bill’s Ward website last week. The original Sabbath drummer expressed discomfort with new contract conditions and that he won’t proceed ”unless a “signable” contract is drawn up…” that “reflects some dignity and respect toward me as an original member of the band.”

Response from the three other members came shortly afterwards stating that they were “saddened” by his stance, however are willing to continue without him if he refuses to sign.

This brought up a major reaction from BS fans from all over the world, which have flooded Bill’s website with supportive comments and requested his immediate presence on the 2012 tour and album recording. Even if there are many phenomenal drummers out there, the magic and chemistry of the original line-up can hardly be substituted.

Let us hope then, that the misunderstanding will soon be over and the “big comeback” arrives in full glory.
