Vous n'êtes pas sans savoir que Black Sabbath se reforme. Pour cette occasion, nous avons décidé de créer un tee-shirt du BSF (Black Sabbath Forum). Pour l'instant, nous sommes dans une phase de prospection de façon à réduire les coûts. Plus nous en prendrons, moins les coûts seront onéreux. Je vous propose le prototype du tee-shirt. Ne vous fiez pas à l'image mais d'après son créateur, le motif de devant est grand. =)

T-shirt du BSF présenté par Pautdomi :

Clâsse

T'en veux un ?

Tu me l'offres ?

Je vais voir selon mes moyens.

Si tu viens sur le BSF.

Le guitariste de BLACK SABBATH (Metal Origin - UK) Tony Iommi est atteint d'un cancer. Un lymphome vient d'être diagnostiqué chez Tony Iommi - âgé de 63 ans - qui étudie actuellement le meilleur traitement possible avec ses médecins.
Cette nouvelle tombe alors que le line-up originel du groupe rassemblant Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Heezer Butler et BIll Ward travaillait sur leur premier album studio depuis 33 ans.
Pour l'instant aucune information au sujet du maintien ou non de la tournée de reformation du groupe qui passera par le Hellfest le 17 juin et par le Palais Omnisports de Paris Bercy le 19 juin.

Glenn Hughes sur Twitter :

- Prayers please for my brother Tony Iommi..... we all pray for a full, speedy recover from Cancer.... much love... GH

Des réactions de part et d'autre :

A number of hard rock and heavy metal musicians have taken to Twitter to offer best wishes to legendary BLACK SABBATH guitarist Tony Iommi, who announced earlier today that he has been diagnosed with the early stages of lymphoma, a cancer of the lymphocytes, a type of cell that forms part of the immune system.

Iommi, 63, is currently working with his doctors to establish the best treatment plan and 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 U.K. to continue to work with Tony.

ANTHRAX (band): "This really does suck. GET WELL SOON TONY!"

Slash (VELVET REVOLVER, GUNS N' ROSES): "Best wishes for a full recovery to Tony Iommi."

Robb Rivera (NONPOINT): "Just when i was happy to announce that I had finished his book last night, today I read this sad story about metal."

David Draiman (DISTURBED): "Everyone please send their prayers/good vibes/best wishes to Tony Iommi for a speedy recovery; he has been diagnosed [with] lymphoma."

Sebastian Bach (SKID ROW): "All hail the mighty Tony Iommi. & FUCK YOU, Cancer."

Tommy Clufetos (OZZY OSBOURNE, ROB ZOMBIE, ALICE COOPER): "All my positive vibes to Tony Iommi of [BLACK SABBATH] for a healthy speedy recovery... A true rock legend!!"

Randy Blythe (LAMB OF GOD): "I absolutely insist that every single follower of mine, religious or not, send a prayer up for Tony Iommi. He has been diagnosed with lyphoma. It's in its early stages — SABBATH is writing a new record, and they are continuing to. Iommi is the reason heavy metal exists. Pray for him. You 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 coupla times. He is a gentleman and a living legend. Hopefully since it's in early stages they can beat it pretty easily. But Iommi's not a young man, so think good thoughts! It is no secret that I have donated both my time, energy, facial hair, and a fair amount of my money to cancer research. I've walked the walk (literally) as well as talked the talk. However, there's nothing wrong with positive vibes."

Zakk Wylde (BLACK LABEL SOCIETY, OZZY OSBOURNE): "Big BL get well wishes out to Lord Iommi!!!"

Glenn Hughes (DEEP PURPLE, BLACK SABBATH, BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION): "Prayers please for my brother Tony Iommi... We all pray for a full, speedy recover from cancer.... Much love…"

Angela Gossow (ARCH ENEMY): "Very, very sad to hear about Tony 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 fast and full recovery."

Gus G. (OZZY OSBOURNE, FIREWIND): "I'm in shock to hear the news about Tony Iommi. Get well soon 'Iron Man'!! Your biggest fan."

Michael Amott (ARCH ENEMY, CARCASS): "Here's hoping for a solid and speedy recovery for my guitar hero Tony Iommi!"

La seule chose qui risquerait d'être remise en cause, serait la tournée elle-même. Pour ce qui est de l'album qui, je le suppose, doit être bien engagé, celui-ci ne subira pas forcément de retard de parution.
Ce qui m'a frappé, c'est que j'étais persuadé que ce genre de désagrément se produirait pour un Ozzy ou un Bilou mais pas un Iommi qui, jusque-là, n'a eu de sérieux problèmes de santé.

Black Sabbath devait être initialement l'une des têtes d'affiches du Coachella, mais le groupe a été contraint d'annuler sa participation en raison du cancer de Tony Iommi. Tout cela ne présage rien de bon quant au nouvel album et aux dates françaises annoncées (Hellfest et Paris).

Ca a lieu en avril. Il aurait été question donc d'une date supplémentaire.

En dépit de la terrible maladie qui le touche, Tony Iommi (qui semble tout sauf déprimé) était déjà parvenu, selon Geezer Butler, à écrire deux nouveaux titres. Par ailleurs, Geezer remercie tous les fans du Sab pour tous les messages de soutien envoyés.

Black Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler has issued an update on guitarist Tony Iommi’s condition as the guitarist battles cancer.

Writing on his own website, Butler says:

“Today (January 19) we got the engines back up and running at 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.

“Sabbath fans are good people. Time and again, you have proven your faith in us and boosted our endeavour.

“Thanks, love, peace.”
