Ward claims he's still technically part of the band, despite being replaced on their new album and current world tour.

He recently told Guitar International:

"It was one of the toughest decisions that I ever had to make. Because I absolutely and without question wanted to play. I haven't left the band. Everybody thinks I have left the band. I didn't walk out; it wasn't like that at all! I just didn't sign the contract and life took its own course."

Ozzy Osbourne recently stated that he hopes Bill will return for the next Sabbath record.
