Black Sabbath Guitarist Diagnosed With Cancer
Tony Iommi has the early stages of lymphoma...
The recently reformed band have released a statement asking fans to send him "positive vibes".
It continues, "Iommi is currently working with his doctors to establish the best treatment plan--the 'IRON MAN' of Rock & Roll remains upbeat and determined to make a full and successful recovery."
Black Sabbath have been writing and recording their first album in 33 years in Los Angeles with Rick Rubin but say they are relocating to the UK to be with Tony.
They're due to headline this summer's Download Festival at Donnington in June.
