STEWART COPELAND

Anyone see the letter to fans he posted yesterday? Terrible situation. What a train wreck. Sounds like Sharon Osbourne is raking him over the coals. They wanted him to play a gig for free, and "then we'll see ". WTF? I don't blame him. How can you have a Black Sabbath reunion without the original drummer? Can you imagine Tourzilla without Stewart? There would have been bloodshed!

Kim, Where did you view the letter from Bill Ward?

All I can say, as a huge Sabbath fan, is that this situation is fucking bullshit!!! No proper Sabbath reunion without bloody Bill Ward!

And now they've taken all his photos off the Sabbath website, I've heard.

He was always too classy for them anyway. And who in their right mind would want to be on a stage with the mess that is Ozzy? Thirty years ago, maybe - now, no friggin' way. He always had the best drummers and he consistently let them slip through his fingers.
