Black Sabbath fans, the day a lot of you have been waiting for may finally be upon you - as it looks like original drummer Bill Ward is ready to rejoin the Birmingham metalheads for the first time in years.
The band announced last year that they’d be reforming for a headline slot at Download Festival and a world tour, but in February earlier this year, Ward pulled out - after contract negotiations took a turn for the worse.
But now, speaking in an interview with Vice, Ward has hinted that it may be time for him to reunite with Ozzy, Iommy, and Butler - as long as there’s some ‘longevity’ in the band.
“If there is some longevity with Black Sabbath, then I'd like to be part of it,” he told Eagles Of Death Metal frontman Jesse Hughes in the interview. I wanna play hard rock music. I wanna play loud drums. I love playing with Terry. I love playing with Oz. And I love playing with Tony. When Tony opens up with huge chords man, I still get the same shiver up my back than I did when we were 18 year-old kids.”
No official news of a reunion with all members has surfaced as of yet, but it could only be a matter time before we finally see Ward drumming alongside the rest of the band. Stay with Stereoboard to stay up-to-date on the story - we’ll let you know first if any news does surface.
