This Black Sabbath member wants one last show with band’s former drummer

Here’s hoping others will agree on this last hoorah.

Legendary heavy metal singer Ozzy Osbourne recently said he’d like Black Sabbath to do “one last gig” with the band’s estranged drummer Bill Ward, according to Stairwayto11.

The drummer dropped out of the band’s planned 2012 reunion, months after it was announced, due to an “unreasonable contract.”

Ward claimed he hadn’t been offered a contract he considered as “signable.” This led to a feud between him and the frontman, who at the time suggested Ward wasn’t healthy enough to play his role, according to Loudersound.

Ward has yet to respond to Osbourne’s request to reunite.

Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi has expressed interest in the idea of the potential reunion during an interview on Sirius XM’s “Trunk Nation with Eddie Trunk.”

“That’d be a nice thing to actually do, but whether it happens will be another thing. But we’ll see. I mean, who knows?”

Earlier in May, Osbourne mentioned that he would “jump at the chance” to play one last show with Ward and while Iommi is open to the possibility of a reunion, he noted that a tour wouldn’t be ideal because of his age.

“I have to look at it realistically at my age. I can’t go out and do a two-year tour like we were doing before,” he said. “And to put something together like the original Sabbath or this or that or the other, you’ve gotta do it a long time because of the cost of everything.”

“But it would be nice to do a one-off, if that ever happens,” He concluded.

Both Osbourne and Iommi expressed an interest in the possible reunion of Black Sabbath to mark the Birmingham Commonwealth Games, but the idea hasn’t been spoken about since last summer.
