Short story:
On their Heaven And Hell tour, Black Sabbath play at The Met Center, Bloomington, Minnesota, USA. Drummer Bill Ward quits the band immediately after this show, causing several subsequent gigs to be cancelled. Ward is replaced at short notice by Carmen Appice.Full article:
Bill Ward : Alcohol had become more important than Black Sabbath, our audience, my family, everything, and that included me. Also, I was absolutely missing Ozzy; really missing him and I wasn't coping with my grief that well because I was so drunk. My mother had died and I wasn't coping with the grief for my mother and I was feeling overwhelmed with loss. Lastly, as much as I loved Ronnie James Dio, it [the new band lineup] didn't work for me.
Tony Iommi (guitarist, Black Sabbath) : We didn't want Bill to leave… He had a lot going on within himself that we didn't know about, and Bill needed time to actually sit back and think.
