ANTHRAX: “This really does suck. GET WELL SOON TONY!”
Slash: “Best wishes for a full recovery to Tony Iommi”.
Rob Rivera: “Just when I was happy to announce that I had finished his book last night, today I read this sad story about metal”.

Randy Blythe (Lamb Of God): “I absolutely insist that every follower of mine, religious or not, send a prayer up for Toni Iommi. He has been diagnosed with Lymphoma. It’s in it’s early stages- Sabbath are writing a new record, and they are continuing to. Iommi is the reason heavy metal exists. Pray for him. Yo pray to Crom, Odin, yourself- don’t care who. Just send up some positive vibes for Tony Iommi. This is terrible news for metal. I’ve toured with Iommi a couple of times. He is a gentleman and a living legend. Hopefully since it’s in it’s early stages we can beat it pretty easily.But Iommi’s not a young man so think good thoughts! It’s no secret that I have donated both my time, energy, facial hair, and a fair amount of money to cancer research.I’ve walked the walk (literally) as well as talked the talk. However there’s nothing wrong with positive vibes”.
Zak Wylde (Black label Society, Ozzy Osbourne): “Big BL get well wishes to Lord Iommi!!!”
Glen Hughes (Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Black Country Communion): “Prayers please for my Brother Toni Iommi. .. We all pray for a full, speedy recovery from cancer…Much love!”.
Angela Gossow (Arch Enemy) : “Very, very sad to here about Toni Iommi’s cancer diagnosis. FIGHT!. You never know what the future holds for you. Live and love every day.
Exhorder : “Get well soon Tony Iommi, sad news”.
Frank Bello (Anthrax): “Get well soon Tony!!”.
Richie Faulkner (Judas Priest): “My thoughts go out to Tony Iommi and I wish him a full and fast recovery”.
Gus G (Ozzy Osbourne, Firewind) : I am shocked to hear the news about Tony Iommi. Get well soon “Iron man!”. Your biggest fan.
