Tony Iommi Diagnosed with Lymphoma

Posted by Jim Burger on Jan 17, 2012

Let's all send our best wishes to Tony Iommi. Shortly after announcing that Black Sabbath would be reuniting to make a record and go on tour, the legendary axeman was diagnosed with lymphoma, a cancer of the lymphocytes, a type of cell that forms part of the immune system. He's getting ready to undergo treatment and appears to be upbeat and optimistic.

Let's hope that his illness does not affect Sabbath's reunion, but most of all, let's all hope for a quick and speedy recovery for Tony!
