Tony Iommi diagnosed with Cancer, Black Sabbath reunion delayed

[Alteredmindeath]

This is probably one of the worst situations for a comeback year, reminds of Dio not too long ago.

BLACK SABBATH have issued the following official statement:

"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."

Well that's disappointing. I'm not into much Sabbath, but this makes me sad.

...who's gonna be kicking the bucket next though makes me curious. All that's running through my mind is someone from Iron Maiden...

 

[Keenan]

I saw this earlier and cried a little. Poor man.

No way! Those guys are invincible... Also they were never into drugs like most bands.

Sad to hear about Iommi. Love me some Sabbath.

I hear they are still moving forward with the album despite the cancer setback. I Hope Mr Iommi can make a swift recovery, and get past these darkened times.

Early stages though, so hopefully they will be able to fix him up. Unfortunate news right after the announcement of the album/ tour.
