by | Jan 13, 2012

Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi has released a statement regarding his recent lymphoma diagnosis.

Commenting on Facebook, Iommi stated “I just want to say how overwhelmed I am with all your messages of support, thank you so much.

Well it’s not what I wanted for Christmas, that’s for sure, but now I can’t wait for the test results to come in and get going with the treatment.

It’s really good that the guys are coming over so that we can continue working on the album as things are going great in the studio.

Well, not much else to say at this time, so thanks again.”
