Britain's Rock Radio reports:

BLACK SABBATH drummer Bill Ward has broken his silence on why he left HEAVEN & HELL before the band recorded forthcoming album The Devil You Know.

Speaking to Rock DJ Tom Russell, he explains he was "uncomfortable" with some of the issues surrounding the performance and the organisation of the variant Black Sabbath lineup.

And his position seems to be more or less supported in a separate interview with Sabbath mainman Tony Iommi.

Ward says: "There was a track I was uncomfortable with. I was trying to accommodate the wishes of a couple of the band members, and I'm not good at that - I'm not that kind of a drummer. The way the guys wanted the drumming to be, I was unable to see it that way."
