After a lengthy farewell tour and a final studio album, heavy metal pioneers Black Sabbath officially closed the book back in February 2017. The band, consisting of Geezer Butler, Tony Iommi, Bill Ward, and Ozzy Osbourne, has a legacy that spans over 5 decades and has influenced every corner of metal music.
However, one key element was missing during their farewell stretch - founding Drummer Bill Ward. Ward, a crucial member of Black Sabbath, contributed significantly to the band's seminal records, helping to define their sound and establish them as pioneers of the heavy metal genre.
