Bill Ward Adapts, Still Drumming | Rock Music News

At 78, former Black Sabbath drummer Bill Ward is embracing a new chapter—using a wheelchair more often at airports and events, not because he’s retiring or unwell, but because he needs rest. He can still walk, but this adjustment lets him keep going without constant breaks. Ward’s passion for drumming remains fierce, and he’s adapting—not fading. He urges fans to still say hello, assuring them he’s not done creating. This openness is his way of staying honest with himself and his audience, even as he navigates life differently. His last Sabbath gig was just before Ozzy’s passing, and while his 2012 return didn’t fully materialize, Ward’s message is clear: he’s still the same drummer, just moving through the world with more grace and transparency.
