I didn't read enough of the article to see if she had anything to do with it but, on principal alone, fuck Sharon Osbourne.

The fucked uppest thing about it is that it wasn't just "Play for free". It was "Fly to Birmingham, play 3 songs for free and maybe you'll get to do the rest, maybe not."

Its not like he was the original drummer or anything


...wait.

...wait.
They said in early April he could have "minimal" participation in Download Festival - the three or so songs.

Then, in Late April, he found out about the Birmingham gig which he hadn't been notified about. He contacted them, they said "Play for free and see how the first show goes". So he would be playing for free, but it would be the entire show (if I'm to understand correctly).

It's a huge risk for him and you can totally see his all or nothing attitude when I think everyone would expect them to say "Meh, nah. We don't need you for the other shows, but thanks for saving us some money on a drummer for one gig". It's incredibly disrespectful to Ward to treat him this way when none of the other members would be where they are now without his original contribution.

*"Them" being the organisers and the people in-charge of freezing him out of his own band. Which doesn't - as he says - seem to be the actual members.

Is Bill Ward a huge cock and he's pissed everybody in the band off for the 10,000th time too many?
