Tony

Posted on January 19, 2012

Greetings Earth people,

Today [Jan19th] we got the engines back up and running @ Tony’s home studio. Far from being down and depressed about his lymphoma diagnosis, Tony had already written the music for two new songs, and I must say it has given us all a kick up the rump- it’s great to hear him churning out those riffs again, assuaging the Demon C. Takes more than that to stop Tony. Can’t wait for you all to hear our workings, it has been great working on this stuff.

I want to thank the lovely encouraging emails sent to this site giving Tony love and encouragement and great vibes. It really does help, not only Tony, but us as a band- it raises up our spirits and restores our faith in this tarnished world. Sabb fans are good people, time and again you have proven your faith in us and boosted our endeavour.

Thanks, love, peace.

Geezer

    Tony, please get well soon! I speak for all the people in Pennsylvania (United States) in saying we love you and you are in our daily thoughts and or prayers! Thank you for all the works going on and to what we will get from the NEW CD in the future and for the world tour! Thanks to Geezer & Ozzy & Bill as well! Anything you need, just ask!

    From a huge Sabbath fan since 1970, it came as a shock to hear of Tony’s illness, but us hard rock fans always stick together “Never Say Die”. The music you guys have made over the years will go down in history, can’t wait too for Tony to make a full 100% recovery, and
    Sabbath will return to what they do best, good luck to the 4 of you. Our thoughts are with you
    all.

    Tony, is certainly strong enough to beat this cancer. All the best to Tony, Geezer, Bill and Ozzy in this hard time. I can only imagine that cancer really is A Hard Road to be on. Once again, all the best!!

    Very best wishes to Tony for a full and speedy recovery. This much we know: The Iron Man will never say die.

    Get well Tony. Have been a fan since 1970. Just read your book. Sabbath Bloody Sbbath is one of my favorite songs. I agree it is prog metal but I don’t believe that was the first. Wheels of Confusion is very proggy. I love that one too. I absolutely cannot wait to hear the new Sabbath album.

  7. Sorry to hear about Tony, you all were the major influence on Witchfynde as a band and I wish him all the best. Keep Fighting keep writing those killer riffs, keep inspiring more and more new people!

    Get well Tony. Huge fan of you and all of Sabbath. I look forward to hearing the new CD and I hope to see you on tour again. Get well Tony. I love you, Ozzy, Geezer, and Bill.

    My prayers go out to you,Tony. Hope you have a speedy recovery. The Demon C can be whipped! Cant wait to hear the new Riffs. Curious to see how it compares to Master Of Reality ( my all time favorite album) with Afterforever and Into The Void my favorite songs.
    My best regards to You, Geezer, Ozzy and Bill.

    Praying all is going well with Tony and wishing all of you guys the best. God bless.

    I also was diagnosed with a lymphona just before Christmas. First chemotherapy session actually took place on the morning of Christmas Eve. Have since had another session and due for my third on Friday this week.
    Best wishes to Tony. Chemo does make you tired during the mid-part of the day so get some rest when you can Tony and keep those massive riffs coming!

    Cancer is in if not all, but someone who is your mother or father, sister or brother relative or friend, somebody always has this disease,with each type of cancer different from the next. Hey Toni Iommi it’s all about thinking positive and keep being positive, spending time with your love ones, friends,relatives,and band mates. No negative thoughs allowed.
