Black Sabbath has announced a new stretch of tour dates in continued support of their reunion album 13. According to a press release, "These dates will be part of the band's final shows of their 2013-2014 world tour."
The majority of the cities added to the tour are in Canada with a few dates in the U.S. The band has been on the road since April for the reunion. The album was the their first release with Ozzy Osbourne since 1978's Never Say Die!, though drummer Bill Ward was absent from the album due to a financial dispute.
Ward spoke told RockCeller Magazine that it is hard for him to listen to the album."The only thing I've heard from 13 is maybe 40 seconds of the first song, and then I turned it off. I haven't heard anything off that album at all... I mean, I wish them all the luck - well, not luck, they don't need luck - but I wish them all the best in the world. But for me, I can't listen to it, it's too close to home, you know. Like I said, I listened to the first 40 seconds of 'God is Dead?' and I just said I can't listen to this anymore."
Replacing Ward on the album is Rage Against the Machine's Brad Wilk and on tour Tony Clufetos, Osbourne's solo drummer, takes the stage.
