Black Sabbath founding drummer Bill Ward, who was absent from the band's reunion shows, spoke in an interview with Rolling Stone this week about his relationship with his former bandmates:
“The last time I saw Tony and Geezer was in 2015 and it was cordial. But this was the last time. I haven't spoken to anyone since, nor have I written. I think there have been some press releases that have come and gone, but that's all. I'm at peace with them. If something comes out that I feel isn't true, I respond in my defense; I need to defend myself. But generally, the way I see things isn't with resentment, it's not fear or hatred, nothing like that. I truly love those guys. I wish them the best in their lives. Every day I pray for their health and happiness. I don't hold grudges or arrogance or anything like that. I've felt this way for a while now.”
Ward also made it clear that if Black Sabbath wanted to reunite, he would be up for it
“Before, I was very upset, but I calmed down. I'm in a different place, I've moved on. But I haven't moved on from the idea of playing together, if they ever want to. I haven't moved on from that idea. It would have to be arranged. But if they've moved on from that too, that's fine, I support it. But I haven't moved on. I'm keeping an open mind.”.
It depends on what it is, what it would be like, but I definitely keep an open mind. It would be stupid of me not to. Time passes, we're getting old. I've loved these guys for a long time. I love Black Sabbath's music
