During a recent episode of “The Madhouse Chronicles,” Ozzy Osbourne opened up about the end of Black Sabbath. Interestingly, the frontman also expressed a desire to reunite the band for one final show with original drummer Bill Ward.
Osbourne said the following about Ward’s absence from the band’s final album “13”:
“I can’t remember why Bill didn’t do it. I’ve gotta be truthful. It wasn’t really Black Sabbath because Bill wasn’t there. I mean, if you had Ginger Baker playing with The Beatles, it wouldn’t be The Beatles.”
He continued when asked if he was happy with the way the band’s final show ended:
“Yeah, but I was sad that Bill wasn’t there. I mean, I mean, Tommy [Clufetos], my drummer [for my solo band], did a great job [stepping in for Bill], but he ain’t Bill Ward.”
He also added the following when asked if he is happy with the arc of the band as a whole:
“No. Because it wasn’t Black Sabbath that finished it. It’s unfinished. If they wanted to do one more gig with Bill, I would jump at the chance. Do you know what would be cool? If we went to a club or something unannounced and we just got up and did it. We started up in a club.”
