Black Sabbath’s Bill Ward thanks fan support
Monday, February 6th, 2012 5:27:29 by Haris AnsariThe English musician, Bill Ward, thanked all the fans for their love and support.
Renowned as Black Sabbath’s drummer and percussionist, Ward revealed that the support he has received in the last couple of days has given him a lot of strength.
The 63-year-old, earlier last week, revealed in a statement that he might not be able to further his music career with Black Sabbath, the reason being a conflict of interest in contracts. Ward was offered to continue his world with the band on a new contract
but so the clauses are unacceptable to the drummer.
He further continued to assert that he wanted to be treated fairly noting, “a contract that reflects some dignity and respect toward me as an original member of the band.”
Sabbath responded to Ward’s assertions with sorrow and excuses, stating that the band had to continue the work without their drummer. However, they are disappointed that Ward’s actions have segregated the band’s fans, leading them to choose sides.
After revealing the crisis with the band, Ward published a letter of gratitude his fans on his website. The letter reads the following:
Dear Sabbath Fans,
This is Bill. I just wanted to humbly thank you all. Your support from across the world has given me further strength and hope for a positive resolve. I have been moved and overwhelmed by thousands of messages. I love you all.
Rock forever,
Bill
Black Sabbath’s current scenario is far from resolution, however. The conflict of interest between Ward and the rest of the group leads to one question in particular; who is going to render the drummers’ services for the new ablum?
