From Black Sabbath's Facebook page:

With the news that Black Sabbath’s Tony Iommi has been diagnosed with the early stages of lymphoma, his bandmates would like everyone to send positive vibes to the guitarist at this time. 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.

This comes as Black Sabbath...--Ozzy Osbourne (vocals), Tony Iommi (guitar), Geezer Butler (bass) and Bill Ward (drums)--are writing and recording their first album in 33 years in Los Angeles (still set for release this fall) with producer Rick Rubin. They will now go to the UK to continue to work with Tony. Further information will be released as it becomes available.

Hope he makes a full recovery.

Grim news, Tony Iommi was the first rock star I ever met in musical exchanges in brum' - it was a tuesday afternoon, He just popped in and no-one really bothered him..there were only 4-5 people in the shop. He was great, chatting to everyone, top bloke..has a mobile phone the size of a housebrick. I think it was a carphone..this was 84 or 85'...happy days..
