Ozzy Osbourne vs Bill Ward: The Internet Wars?

The ongoing online battle between Ozzy Osbourne and Bill Ward continues over whether Ward is truly capable of fulfilling his role within Black Sabbath, and who was right or wrong with the decision to not invite Ward back into the band. Ward has also publicly insisted on a public apology from Osbourne but the likelihood of this does not look too promising.

The saga begins with Ward posting an open letter that he posted on his Facebook page:

Dear Friends,I hope you’re well and in good spirits. I have not made any public statements regarding my relationship…

Then Osbourne replied with a post of his own:

I never wanted to discuss this in a public forum but Bill’s statements left me no option to but to respond…

Then Ward posted a rebuttal:

Bill addresses Ozzy’s Facebook post.1. You never wanted to discuss in a public forum. BUT, you did by making all these…
