neil is brill Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Just caught this on my facebook newsfeed. Absolutely awful piece of news, especially with the new Sabbath stuff coming up. Thoughts go out to him, his family and friends. Â Metal Hammer Article (Link) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Burchill's Buddy Posted January 9, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted January 9, 2012 So weird, just as I was having a conversation with Harvey Dent about Ozzy in another thread. that's some really sad news, one of my favourite guitarists and hugely, hugely influential on the metal sound.

d-d-d-dAz Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Lymphoma is an absolute motherfuck, even an early catch is sometimes too late. Though, I don't like to be pessimistic, and I really like Tony Iommi so I wish him all the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patiirc Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Sad news indeed, After Dio in 2010 (has it been that long already ), I feel that we are going to see some high profile check outs from the metal and rock world in the next 5 years, its not going to be fun nor pretty.I hope he beats it into the ground and then some Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators neil Posted January 10, 2012 Moderators Share Posted January 10, 2012 It sucks yes, but really not that surprising. I mean Dio was old as heck, and Iommi is in his 60's. It's going to start happening more and more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiffy Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Makes the summer tour look quite unlikely, which is a shame, but obviously far more important is that he gets better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
