Singer Ozzy Osbourne, guitarist Tony Iommi and bassist Geezer Butler appeared without Bill Ward — after the original drummer bowed out over a contract dispute. The original trio is at work on a long-awaited new album, their first together since 1978. Ward was replaced by Ozzy Osbourne band drummer Tommy Clufetos.
“You have do something for me on this last song,” Osbourne said just before the band tore into “Children Of The Grave.”: “Go fucking nuts.”
This troubled reunion has been slowed time and again by devastating news — beginning when Iommi was diagnosed with lymphoma. Writing sessions then moved from L.A. to England, where the legendary guitarist underwent cancer treatment.
