Original drummer Bill Ward was not part of the show. Controversy surrounded the announcement that Ward would not be part of the reunion tour earlier this month, after Ozzy was quoted saying: “A drummer has to be in shape. He’s already had two heart attacks. I don’t want to be responsible for his life.”
WOW!!!!!! I love the love you can see in these pictures Amanda – very very very well done – I am sharing these with fans courtesy of you & AZFoothills.com. We’re a small group of extreme diehards. Your pictures RULE!!!! Wish you’d gotten the hug though, or one of the ones where Ozzy looked out at the audience and had one of his silly pleased smiles on his face. He’s such a sweet and charming soul – how on earth has he kept the innocence given the amazing career he’s had. I have no idea, but he, Iommi, and Butler sure showed the WORLD and Arizona why they and they alone are called “The Kings of Doom.” What a great show!!!!!!
