"Black Sabbath" guitarist Tony Iommi diagnosed with cancer.
« on: January 11, 2012, 06:28:38 PM »
Hey guys, FYI lang

Some sad news from the world of rock 'n' roll. :cry:
"Black Sabbath" guitarist Tony Iommi ("ee-oh-me") has been diagnosed with cancer.
Guitarist to Ozzy Osbourne and solo artist.
A statement issued by the band says Iommi is in the early stages of lymphoma.
Just two months ago, "Iron Man" Iommi and the three other original members of Sabbath announced a reunion to create their first new album since 19-78.
Black Sabbath lost another band member last year -- Ronnie James Dio died in May of stomach cancer.

Oh no! :-o That's sad news. But im still positive about it, coz some forms of cancer do respond to treatment especially during the early stages of the disease. Iommi is one my earliest guitar hero. Be well mr Iommi.

If it's still in the early stage, chances are, it can be cured. Tommy has to visit his doctor and be checked on a regular basis to monitor the progress of the disease.

Sad news.

There are two Iron Men named Tony - Stark and Iommi. The former was played by a notorious Hollywood drunk. The latter is the godfather, grandfather, and forefather of metal. Wishing the latter Iron Man gets well soon.  :cry:

Mr. Iommi get well soon! Dio will be pissed if you'll pass too early.

Don't forget War Machine. So, technically speaking, there are 3. :idea:
