Ozzy Osbourne Hits Back At Black Sabbath Drummer With Open Letter

In a saga that's getting more interesting by the day, Ozzy Osbourne has responded to Black Sabbath drummer Bill Ward in an open letter posted on his website. 

Yesterday we reported on Black Sabbath's drummer Bill Ward demanding via Facebook that Osbourne "amend his opinions and exaggerations" about his role in the band. 

Now, Osbourne has hit back with a short, harsh open letter which he's published on his website.

Osbourne kicks off by saying, "What the fuck are you on about? I cannot apologize for comments or opinions I may have made about you in the press during Sabbath’s “13” album and tour -- physically, you knew you were fucked."

He goes on to say, "Deep down inside you knew you weren’t capable of doing the album and a 16 month tour. Unfortunately for you, our instincts were correct as you were in hospital several times during 2013. Your last hospitalization was for a shoulder surgery that you now say you’ve only just recovered from. This would have meant that our world tour would have been canceled. So how is all of this my fault? Stop playing the victim and be honest with yourself and our fans."

Ouch, Ozzy. Let's see if Ward has something to add in response.
