Tony Iommi Diagnosed with Lymphoma

Metal fans around the world are eagerly awaiting the return of the original line up of Black Sabbath, however, the Iron Man himself, Tony Iommi, has been diagnosed with Lymphoma. 


Lymphoma is a cancer that is found in lymph nodes around the body. Luckily, the cancer has been caught in the early stages so Iommi "remains upbeat and [is] determined to make a full and successful recovery." 


This story comes in light of the band's return as they are writing their first album together in 33 years. 


"Iommi is currently working with his doctors to establish the best treatment plan."



Black Sabbath are due to play Download Festival at Donnington Park later this year. There is no news to indicate whether the band will still play or not. 


(I hope they do still play as their reunion at Download will be welcomed with great support from everyone there!)

  1. They've caught it early, and with the many millions I'm sure he has, he'll be able to afford the best treatment. He'll be there at Download :) xxxxx
