Toni Iommi

 Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi has been diagnosed with "early stages of lymphoma" according to the bands publicist. "Iommi is currently working with doctors to establish the best treatment plan. The 'Iron Man' of Rock and Roll remains upbeat and determined to make a full and successful recovery."

  Black Sabbath's original lineup had announced that they were going to start recording their first album of new material in 30 years, with producer Rick Rubin.  The project has been moved from Los Angeles to England for Iommi's treatment.

  The band also had planned on beginning a tour May 18th in Moscow, but it's not clear if the news will change those dates.
