As listed on Sabbath's facebook and twitter:
With the news that Black Sabbath�s Tony Iommi has been diagnosed with the early stages of lymphoma, his bandmates would like everyone to send positive vibes to the guitarist at this time. Iommi is currently working with his doctors to establish the best treatment plan--the �IRON MAN� of Rock & Roll remains upbeat and determined to make a full and successful recovery. This comes as Black Sabbath--Ozzy Osbourne (vocals), Tony Iommi (guitar), Geezer Butler (bass) and Bill Ward (drums)--are writing and recording their first album in 33 years in Los Angeles (still set for release this fall) with producer Rick Rubin. They will now go to the UK to continue to work with Tony. Further information will be released as it becomes available. Edited by Stooge - 09 Jan 2012 at 8:45am |

Damn, what a punch in the gut that must be - and now, of all times: even though there's never a good time to be diagnosed with this sort of illness, it always stings more when it comes just as you've got a big project coming to fruition. Get well soon, Tony!
