Original drummer Bill Ward’s attorney has contacted Black Sabbath about his image in publicity photos.

Black Sabbath issued another statement regarding their original drummer Bill Ward (far left in publicity photo):

“At the request of Bill Ward, through his attorney, so as to not give the public the wrong impression about his involvement in the current Black Sabbath lineup, we have temporarily removed Bill Ward’s images from the main pages of the blacksabbath.com official website. In accordance with Bill Ward’s attorney’s request, we are doing so for the duration of the forthcoming shows.”
