Black Sabbath drummer Bill Ward has lashed out at his former bandmates for attacking him with “nothing but insults and false remarks” since he left the band in 2012. Ward singles out Ozzy Osbourne in a lengthy Facebook post, stating that the singer’s “rhetoric above all has brought me the most discord.” In May of 2012, Osbourne declared that Ward couldn’t remember his drum parts, and wasn’t in shape to handle the band’s 2013 world tour. “I would want Ozzy to amend his opinions and exaggerations. I would want him to be forthcoming about his unrealistic viewpoints. And because I was chastised publicly, I would want him to amend publicly in his words, and not through an Ozzy representative, the nature of the wrongs. I would not want to continue on with him without this seemingly impassible dilemma being addressed.” He also says that he would require a “signable contract,” but believes that he has “little to no expectations of this happening.” Ward has since been replaced with former Rage Against the Machine drummer Brad Wilk.
