"We were saddened to hear yesterday via Facebook that Bill declined publicly to participate in our current Black Sabbath plans," they wrote. "We have no choice but to continue recording without him although our door is always open..."
It always pisses me off when I read about people who
know each other and actually work together "hearing things via Facebook". You get exactly the same thing in football, where managers - apparently - never deal face-to-face with their own players.
Why don't they just
speak to each other, for $%'s sake? :x
On the face of it, it's disappointing that Tony and Geezer are going along with this. On the other hand, perhaps Bill's being a pain in the arse. We can't know the truth at this point.
