Sabbath drummer not on the sticks, but The Jesus & Mary Chain will tour

With the Black Sabbath 'original line up' world tour and album somewhat marred by drummer Bill Ward's refusal to commit unless a 'signable' contract was provided so he could join bandmates Ozzy Osbourne, Geezer Butler and Tommy Iommi, The Jesus And Mary Chain have announced that they will reunite for a handful of US tour dates in March, including a performance at SxSW. Brothers Jim and William Reid will be joined by guitarist John Moore (who played on the band's first two albums, 'Psychocandy' and 'Darklands'), bassist Phil King, and an as-yet-unnamed drummer.
