BLACK SABBATH: Extended Family Weighs In

Sharon Osbourne is denying reports that she fired Black Sabbath drummer Bill Ward following his refusal to sign the contract for the reunion album and tour.

She tweets, "I am not in any position to hire or fire anyone in Black Sabbath. I don't manage the band, I manage my husband."

Her husband, Ozzy, is at home in L.A., taking a break from writing and recording the band's reunion album in England.

Meanwhile, Ward's son Aron has weighed in, writing on Facebook that his father hasn't quit Sabbath and lashing out at those who say he's being greedy. He says, "It's kind of obvious someone else is greedy... He lives in a modest home in Southern California and pays rent like the rest of us... Sadly, the current 'Sabbath' statement reads as if someone would rather see the remaining members play in front of thousands of disappointed, confused and resentful fans then give my dad a dignified agreement... To Geezer, my godfather, Ozzy, my friend when I was little, and Tony, towering hero, I hope that you will listen to your fans. They want all of you together."
