A few days ago the cancellation of the band's farewell concert was announced Black Sabbath. It was not the first time that the members of the group, for some reasons or others - some for mere economic interest - could not reach an agreement. This has been another one of those occasions, only this time it seems that it is necessary to do a good rewind so as not to lose any detail of the reason for this cancellation.
Bill Ward, drummer for Black Sabbath, asked Ozzy Osbourne to make a public apology for some comments the vocalist had made against him. Bill Ward had left the meeting in 2012, after saying a contract was necessary. "Reflecting dignity and respect" to him. Ozzy has not been slow to issue a statement in which he makes things very clear, although it is far from being an apology. Read it yourselves:
“I never wanted to discuss this in a public forum, but Bill's statements left me no choice, so I will answer honestly. Wow Bill! What the hell are you talking about? I can't apologize for the comments and opinions I made about you during the 13th media tour. You physically knew you were screwed. Tony, Geezer and I didn't think you could play a two-hour set with a drum solo every night, so we made the decision to continue. With Tony's condition, we felt that time was not on our side. Bill, stop this smokescreen about an 'unsigned' contract and let's be honest. Deep inside you know that you weren't able to record the album and go on tour for 16 months. Unfortunately for you, our instincts were correct, as you were in the hospital many times during 2013. Your last hospitalization was for shoulder surgery from which you know you barely recovered. This would mean that the world tour would have been canceled, so how is this my fault? Stop playing the victim and be honest with yourself and with the fans. Bill, we've been friends for a long time. Let's stop doing this before it gets out of hand. "
