…not Bill Ward. Earlier today, to help pump up the last Black Sabbath tour ever (or THE END, as they’re calling it), the band put up a teaser video on their YouTube page. Playing “Paranoid,” in the brief teaser, it shows a car showing up to a rehearsal studio, Ozzy Osbourne, and Tony Iommi shuffling in, some amps, a set list, the familiar riff of “Paranoid,” then… Tommy Clufetos on drums. That’s really not that big of a surprise, given that Ozzy’s current drummer played on the road with the band a few years ago for the 13 tour, and did an admirable job. Sadly, though, it looks like Sabbath will end their touring career without Bill Ward on drums.
