According to Black Sabbath, the band's estranged drummer Bill Ward was invited to perform at the group's final show on their The End tour, but he said no.
After originally planning to go out with one last album and a final world tour, the members of Black Sabbath have reportedly "opted against" recording a new LP.
As anyone who's ever closely listened to Black Sabbath's music knows, there's a wide disconnect between the band's "evil" image and the actual lyrical content of most of their songs.
