Yesterday, Bill Ward reunited with his Black Sabbath bandmates, Geezer Butler and Tony Iommi, at the Ivor Novello Awards, and many thought it could be a sign of a reunion, but that may not be the case.
In a new interview with NME, Ward said he would not rejoin the band unless his fued with Ozzy Osbourne ends:
“I’m in a huge dispute with Ozzy so that doesn’t really help and as far as I’m concerned, until that dispute is finished then I’m not gonna participate. They’ve already made an album without me so I’m sure they’d go on without me playing and that’s OK with me – I still love them just the same. I’d love to think I could [rejoin the band] but the things I’m asking for may be out of reach.”
In other news, Iommi and Butler both added that there was no plans for a final tour or album at this time. Iommi said “it’d be lovely to do a last tour,” but Butler says he has “no idea” if it’ll happen or not.
Basically, Black Sabbath’s future is still up in the air.
