For original Black Sabbath drummer Bill Ward, there's a simple explanation as to why he didn't record or tour with his bandmates. "I was offered a contract, and I couldn't sign it," he said in a recent interview. He refutes suggestions that he wasn't physically up to the task.

It seems to have all started with a report in Britain's "Birmingham Mail" tabloid that said the original Black Sabbath lineup is reuniting for a new album and tour.  They even quoted guitarist Tony Iommi.  Unfortunately, it's not true.  At least not YET.
