Short story:

Full article:

Richard Ogden (publicist, Black Sabbath) : Sabbath were always playing practical jokes. One thing they liked to do was to put bananas in Bill Ward’s slippers. He wore plimsolls onstage when he was drumming, but when he came off at the end of the show he’d put on a dressing gown and slippers. I remember that happening at The Kursaal in Southend. It had obviously happened before, because I remember him going, "Bloody 'ell, not again." And the rest of them laughing their heads off.
