The members of Black Sabbath announced their intention to continue work on a new album but without drummer Bill Ward.

The problem is that Ward refused to participate in the reunion of the group, because he was dissatisfied with the contract terms.    

In response other musicians - vocalist Ozzy Osbourne, bass guitarist Geezer Butler, guitarist Tony Iommi - released a joint statement saying the group will reunite without the drummer, Lenta.ru reports referring to The Rolling Stone.
