Producer Rick Rubin (SLAYER, AUDIOSLAVE, RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS, SYSTEM OF A DOWN) recently told Sunday Herald Associate Editor Alan Taylor that he was in Worcestershire, U.K. to work on a new BLACK SABBATH album. No further information is currently available.
As previously reported, BLACK SABBATH guitarist Tomy Iommi is currently working with ex-DEEP PURPLE vocalist/bassist Glenn Hughes on material for a new studio album, tentatively due next year on Sanctuary Records. Joining Iommi and Hughes during the recording sessions for the upcoming CD is ex-JOHN MELLENCAMP drummer Kenny Aronoff.
With regards to the possibility of a new BLACK SABBATH album, Iommi recently told Rolling Stone magazine, "I'd like to think that we'll be doing another album. With SABBATH, things just happen. We weren't supposed to be doing the last Ozzfest, but we did."

Update:
A spokesperson for Ozzy Osbourne has rejected a British newspaper report that producer Rick Rubin recently spent time in the U.K. working on a new BLACK SABBATH studio album.
Sunday Herald Associate Editor Alan Taylor reported over the weekend that he ran into Rubin in Worcestershire, U.K. where Rubin was apparently in the process of making a new SABBATH CD.
When asked by BLABBERMOUTH.NET if there is any truth to the report or if Taylor somehow got his facts mixed up, a Sharon Osbourne Management spokesperson said, "He is confused. [There is] nothing [new] to report."
