So, with news of Bill Ward speaking out to the public yesterday about him possibly not being a part of the up coming Black Sabbath reunion tour and recording, it is suffice to say now HE WILL NOT be a part of the reunion. This spat seems to be all about money and royalty percentages. Guess we know who’s pulling the strings on this gig (hint, hint: She’s a red head and I believe she really sucks the blood of bats).


Here’s an official statement from the band’s Facebook page…

We were saddened to hear yesterday via Facebook that Bill declined publicly to participate in our current Black Sabbath plans…we have no choice but to continue recording without him although our door is always open… We are still in the UK with Tony. Writing and recording the new album and on a roll… See you at Download!!!

So, what does this mean know for “The Reunion”? Well, being that Van Halen has just announced a “Reunion” tour sans founding member Michael Anthony, A Black Sabbath “Three-union” tour shouldn’t be a problem…right? I guess it comes down to what you consider a reunion anyway.
