Tony Iommi’s band is topping the charts again after 43 years.
Black Sabbath are better known for the antics of on/off lead
singer Ozzy Osborne than the skills of its guitarist. But Iommi
is one of the original members of the band and has always
remained with the band. Despite missing finger tips that can make

now cancer, the 'king of the heavy riff' is still recording and
touring around his treatment. Shaun Ley asks, what keeps him
playing?
