Following rumors that began circulating last August and an ensuing spate of will-they-or-won't-they drama, Sharon Osbourne confirmed this weekend that Black Sabbath is working on a new album with producer Rick Rubin. Drummer Bill Ward, a founding member, will not be joining Ozzy Osbourne, Geezer Butler, and Tony Iommi due to a legal dispute. This isn't particularly surprising, since Ward hinted in February that the terms he had been offered at the time were "unsignable."
