Bill Ward Addresses Black Sabbath Reunion Rumors

Original Black Sabbath drummer Bill Ward has dashed fans hope that he would be reuniting with the metal legends for the final dates of their farewell tour next year.

Rumors sparked this week that Ward would be reuniting with the band for the last shows of their The End Tour, but a message posted to his Facebook page shoots down the reports:

Ward's camp writes, "We have seen it reported in the news that Bill will be playing with Black Sabbath on The End tour in the UK. This is incorrect, and we wanted to make sure you heard it from us directly: Bill is not playing with Black Sabbath in the UK or on any other dates of The End tour. As always, we thank you for all your support and understanding. Rock forever."
