  • People are so worried... i don't see why... he's the real Iron Man people.. he's fucking immortal xP

  • I am absolutely devastated and saddened by these facts ... cancer is a difficult disease .. I will pray for Tony ... for your your fight against the disease ... your fans want you to remain here ...

  • ALL THE BEST TONY PRAYERS ARE WITH YA

  • Tony is such a genius. Get well Tony !

  • get well man and bill please just join in for the music... let it be about the music and the original lineup. fuck money and contracts you boys make incredible music together

  • @ChiroQuacker.  You are a dickhead. Offence intended.

  • the thing about cancer it can spread to other parts of the body, even vital organs, our prayers for Tony.

  • If God existed, t'would be Ozzy and Sharon, not Dio and Iommi.

  • @MlKEPORNTOY Amen. And also Dream Theater would never have existed.

  • Tony can't die, is the "Iron Man"

  • these cunts the bill ward out of the band...i say fuck them

    i aint prayin anymore for iommi

    him and ozzie take all the money and pay geezer and bill like they are session men..

    fuck that...

    no way would john do that to ringo,,,,never happen

    it is disgraceful...but tony and ozzie are just like those two cunts from the eagles...glenn frey and don henley....treat the other band members like niggas

    tony RIP...your a dead man..you aint beatin lymphoma

    no fuckin way...PRAY FOR BILL WARD INSTEAD

  • @ChiroQuacker You're full of shit. You obviously don't know how Black Sabbath works, it'd be best that you piss off and suit a valid point about how "badly" Ozzy and Tony pay and treat Ward and Geezer.

  • @BibleBlack42

    fuck u nigga

    u dont know jack shit motherfucker

    those two nobs ozzie and tony are just like glenn frey and don henley from the eagles

    they wanna keep the lionshare of money and treat original band members like dogshit..like hired help..they did that to don felder

    and now ozzie and tony offer to pay the great original band member bill ward...a fucking weekly salary...lennon would never do that to ringo...

    karma is a bitch...enjoy your money tony...

    lymphoma is a KILLER

  • @ChiroQuacker your words are cold and cruel

  • @TheGreaterGood80

    i got cold cruel words for you...when tony and ozzie tell original band member bill ward that he is not an equal partner on the upcoming tour and cd but instead they will pay him a salary...now..those...are cruel and cold words sonny boy.

  • @ChiroQuacker Whatever, faggot. Lennon treated The Beatles like they were nobodies after Yoko Ono stepped in the picture. Many of their albums hinted at those facts.

  • @BibleBlack42

    since george and especially ringo did not write many songs ..\

    well lennon felt sorry for them...so he gave george and ringo a piece of the lennon and mccartney songwriting royalties...he gave them a cut..that they have for life

    who would do that? not tony or ozzie..not mick and keith....no fucking way

    BUT LENNON DID

    so shit your fucking mouth u dirty ass nigga u dont know cunt about life

    like i said lennon would never do a beatles reunion and offer ringo a salary

    RIP TI

  • fucccccccccck cancer

  • DO YOU KNOW THE CURE? I do. Millions of us do. We've known it for over 50 years. Big Pharma and the FDA know it too, they just dont want you to know it because their bosses will lose a ton of money.They think you're stupid! They made me promise not to tell you, so I won't. But if you watch A WORLD WITHOUT CANCER on the YouTube you might just find it. So don't go and tell them I told you, OK ?. They just might fire my ass this time, Ok ?.

  • get well tony we dont want to lose you the same way we lost dio

  • Apparently, Iommi's treatment is going to consist of him playing his Gibson at very loud volumes. The cancer will be eradicated instantly.

  • @RichoRosai u could go to hell for just joking about that

  • I think god is trying to form a supergroup. First Dio, then Iommi. He'll beat this. God can wait

  • Sad Year for metal, hopefully he is strong and wins this battle.

  • FIRST DIO NOW TONY!! NOPE IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN TONY FIGHT THIS PLEASE FOR YOUR FANS AND FAMILY!!!

  • Tony, millions and millions of fans across the planet love you and WISH YOU WELL!! You can beat this, we haven't heard the last of you with Ozzy, Geezer and Bill. NEVER SAY DIE IRON MAN!!!!!

  • It's early. They'll get it. Tony will never die.

  • Tony rocked

  • pf :'( makari na gini kala ;/

  • Tony Iommi is the one of the greatest guitarist ever. I know he can beat cancer. He is a great person and I hope he gets well soon.  Get well soon Tony.

  • Between Henry back home and scoring and Tony getting ready to tour again with BLACK SABBATH, it's easy to choose.

  • you are a metal god tony thanks for metal and i know you won't let cancer beat u!!! get well

  • i just heard this news report now on the howard stern news [Tu. 1.17.12.-AM10:50]

    i went on youtubeand put in the search engine toni iommi

    and sure enough , the news is a week old

    EARLY STAGES OF LIMPHOMA--- i think it could be taken out if caught early .

    he probably was expecting it--- if it runs in his family line.

  • @steve00055 I had 5the satge lymphoma and fine no .. I actually worked . If theres a cancer to get Its Hodgkins Lymphoma .. He'll be fine . But Chemo suck but it worked .

  • Cancer battled with Dio, and prevailed, but now with Iommi, Cancer will lose.

  • Fuuuuuck I hope he survives. If he dosent motherfuckers in the news better talk about him for weeks like they did with mj

  • He's gonna kick cancer's ass for Dio

  • Get well soon Tony Iommi.

  • get fit tony!!!

  • You can't kill the Iommi. The Iommi will live on. Cancer tried to kill the Iommi. They failed, as they were smiten to the ground!

  • get well soon, tony! I couldn't give 2 shits about the new album and the tour! I just don't want tony to die! He's one of my favorite guitarists of all time! i idolize him completely and i don't want him to die! I hope that you make an excellent road to recovery! I'm rooting for you, tony! We all hope that you get well very soon!

  • God bless you tony. You have been a big influence in my life with your music. Get well and stay strong my friend:)

  • Good luck Tony, you are a gent, the gig at Download is a must buy ticket!

  • I just found out about this. Lymphoma is incurable from what I read. According to the American Cancer Society, 63% of people affected by Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (NHL) have a chance of surviving for 5 years after diagnosis. This just gives me a sick feeling in my stomach. My favorite guitar player. =( What a terrible loss this would be to the music world. Good luck,Tony.

  • HEY TONY MY WIFE AND MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU I KNOW ABOUT THE CANCER YOU HAVE MY MOM WAS DIAGNOSED WITH IT IN 1992 I DO NOT KNOW WHAT STAGE SHE HAD BUT SHE LOST THE BATTLE TO CANCER IN JUNE OF 1993 ALL MOST 19 YEARS AGO SO GOD BLESS YOU AND PRAY THAT WIN YOUR BATTLE WITH CANCER AND BY THE I HAVE LOVED BLACK SABBATH MUSIC WITH OZZY AND WITH RONNIE KEEP IT UP..........

  • Tony you are a legend ! You managed to fight your way through to get yourself to keep on playing guitar after a factory accident so I hope you get through this illness man.Love your music and all the best !

  • im 53 vrs old. ive played all my life. i switched to acoustic. I am a devout Christian. Tony will always be loved as my mentor with his unique style. Love you bro! Iommi has inspired me to write many originals and i believe his later pieces with tony martin on vocals were his best works. Get well bro. Someday i hope to see you on the other side. But not for awhile! Ok mate? Heaven can wait. GOD BLESS+++

  • Tony estoy seguro que saldrás adelante y vencerás el maldito cáncer. Te deseo lo mejor y éxitos totales en tu recuperación. Saludos desde Chile.

  • Tony! I'm sure you soon will be fine and in good health! You can win that stuff. You did it once with your fingers and you'll do it now. Don't think about tour, just take care of you. I pray for you, my Guitar Hero. Great God bless you, Tony! Love you to death!

  • Get well soon!!! Sir Tony Iommi!!! the god of metal guitar!!!

  • All i can say to cancer is you'd better come up with a game plan, coz the Iron Man will FUCK YOU UP.

  • you don't take him just like you took dio, you fucking cancer!

  • I know people that used a particular colloidal silver water to drink and help with cancer over the years.

    Not any kind you see in a "organic" store.

    Tony was great to see back in the late 70's where he would play his famous riffs but only his hands were moving and he would stand still smiling at you while he rocked the Coliseum

  • all the best from smiths falls ontario canada love your guitar work get well soon tony look forward to the new album

  • Tony! I cut my guitar teeth, with you and the guys back in the late 70's, and I still love you all. I will pray for a full recovery for you, God Bless you all..

  • Sending my best wishes for you Tony! We're all thinking about you!

  • Tony Iommi will BEAT CANCER! He's English. Those English bastards don't die. I know this because I watched the movie "Get him to the Greek."

  • It is an early stage lymphoma. At an early stage his chances of getting past it are really high, I hope his age doesn't hurt him too much.

  • Get well tony!! We can't lose another metal god. Don't fuck with the iron man!!!!

  • Tony , Been A Fan Since Early 70s Godspeed To Your Recovery From This Terrible Disease

  • He's seriously hardcore! god speed Iommi

  • @hell6before6heaven6 He probably figures there's a chance he could die, he at least wants to record one more Sabbath record before the inevitable.

  • @ManBearPig2177 yea man everyone dies cockface im just saying some people are more "aww man no tour or no album"instead of seeing the big picture which is the riff god is not doing so good....still hoping for the album n tour like no other but his well being is more important to me as not only a fan but as man formally a boys' hero

  • Sending you lots of love and courage Tony. Beat this thing.

  • \m/. all the best from germany

  • What are you people smoking? Tony's not gonna die, look at how healthy he looked, and he's getting treatment really early. He'll be fine. However, I think he should invest in a new arm; that one seems to be malfunctioning.

  • Don't worry Tony, I had the same cancer in 2009 and I'm still alive without problems! :D

  • @zigaziga99 My gf had cancer of the breast and she is just fine!!! My mother had same cancer 20 years ago and she is 75 now, just fine also!!!

  • get well tony

  • without him the music will dies ,just it.....

  • cancer killed many people. it's time to kill cancer now

  • Had no idea they were doing a NEW ALBUM. Iommi you can beat this bastard of a disease. You are Iron Man and you will beat it. Good luck. My dad was taken by Cancer 3 years ago and he first showed me his Black Sabbath original records from the 70s when I was small and you personally inspired me to play guitar, express myself through music and I honestly can't think of a Sabbath song I don't like. Good luck to you and everyone close.

  • Toni,your about as down to earth as any rock legend ive ever seen,your have inspired countless millions of ppl in your music,and we wish you nothing but positive thoughts and well wishes

  • So soon after Dio :( his next :((

  • IOMMI TU ERES MI INSPIRACION

    TU ERES EL DIOS DE LOS MEJORES RIFFS Q JAMAS SE AYAN INVENTADO

    TU ESTARAS BIEN

  • Hey Tony...my prayers are with you. I've been a Sabbath fan for over 40 years now, you've kept the Sabbath flag waving through thick and thin, and kept it alive with your determination. I know you can kick this. Take care, and get well soon.

  • Please recover quickly Tony! Your a Guitar God!

  • One of the most underrated guitarists of all time. This guy's a blues master. My prayers are with him!

  • I'm praying for Tony. Get well soon so we can see you back on stage!

  • Comment removed

  • Get well soon Tony. You are the greatest guitarist of all time, period. We need you bro.

  • Life is a bitch. I hope Iommi and Jon Lord will survive this shit. I don't want to hear those actual posers who play blackmetal, deadcore or shit like that. We have already lost DIO

  • Maybe it would help if he had is right arm cut off so the bad Karma would finally be apeased.

  • GET WELL SOON TONY!

  • i know someone who had hodgkins lymphoma they lived with it for nearly 20 years before they died so it is treatable but if its non hodgkins lymphoma that can only be cured by bone marrow transplants because i think non hodgkins destroys the immune system but i think toni will be around for a lot longer because treatments for lymphoma today are very good

  • Tony Iommi died today in Birminham. He was a legend.

  • @302zman Fuck you, not funny bitch. Tony, you get better brother. You and Jon Lord, who also has this disease, and may you both perservere and beat this crap.

  • @302zman I hope you're joking. Iommi is not dead

  • If he passes away, im burning down a church, no joke. God just keeps taking talent away from this earth, you better not take him you bastard!!!!

  • @Monster4rmda559

    its not God its the devil he's tryin to take black sabbath cause there evil

  • @tylermorin1000 And in what way are they evil? Hmm Explain it to me....

  • @tylermorin1000 gtfo, that is all.

  • GET BETTER IRON MAN!

  • Tony you are and you will always be my favorite guitar player and a model for every kind of things like guitar playing and living fair and shit. I wish you recover fast .

  • Fuck fuck FUCK.

  • GOD!!! GET WELL, PLEASE!!! :-(

  • Nah, Toni Iommi wasn't diagnosed with cancer. Cancer was diagnosed with Toni Iommi. Cancer's scared, cause it knows no one beats Toni Iommi.

  • DCA is the cure for Cancer - F**K chemotherapy!!!

  • nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooo iommi nooooo you are power you are the best i love you

  • im so bummed out right now....makes me sick to think of a world without the Iron Man ...please get well Tony you are the reason i started playing guitar!!!!

  • No God, not this one, you took Dimebag Darrel, you took Dio, you took The Rev, you took Hendrix, you took Cliff Burton, you took Randy Rhoads BUT YOU'RE NOT FUCKING TAKING THIS ONE! >.<

  • @Kharmus976 How can you put The Rev in the same sentence as all those legends?

  • @MrEmokiller666 You're kinda right, his place's not with those guys, but I still kinda liked him, even tough you can't compare him with anyone on this list.

  • @MrEmokiller666 maybe he's a fan,just that.

  • @Kharmus976 Fuck yeah mate, I love your attitude, but can you blame the guy, he is just forming THE ULTIMATE METAL BAND! I mean the big guy shares the same taste as we do, and if we keep on rocking to metal we will see them LIVE in that fucking stadium in the heavens,

  • @Kharmus976 God must be planning to go on a tour then

  • @Kharmus976 Amen Brother, hopefully he'll pull through i can not afford to see this guy gone, for there is no Heave Metal without him.

  • Comment removed

  • @MichellesPoontang We all know that toni is a harsh man.

    but karma or not , no man like toni deserve`s cancer.

    i hope he wont die just like dio or anyother legend that has passed away the last few years.

    if he dies there wont be sabbath

  • @80sHeavymetalthebest Harsh? WTF are you talking about?

  • @MichellesPoontang Ozzy was the best singer. He sung their first album, the Paranoid album (their best selling album) and Masters of Reality album (their most valuable album). And the band was no where without Ozzy except for Heaven and Hell. And exactly is Ozzy an assclown?

  • my thoughts are with you tony! You're one of my inspirations on guitar, i really do hope you make a full recovery!

  • Get well soon Tony, cancer sucks! Tony Iommi is one of my idols. I play guitar and he's been a huge influence to me.

  • God please dont do that !! I wanna see him on concert and I wanna see next black sabbath albums dont do that to us please..

  • I want to dislike this video, but I cant because Tony is in it :) Get well Tony, couldnt handle your talent been taken away from this earth lik other legends :D Get Well Tony, Get WELL, Im gonna be at your concert!!!! :D

  • they poison our food 

  • You fuckers alreay took Dio.

    You are NOT going to take Tony too.

  • if you have been effected by cancer at all your self friends or family then you know how bad it is we need to stop these drug and insurance comp and take back this country
