Tony Iommi And Ian Gillan To Work together Again

The Black Sabbath riff-master confirms that he is to again work with the Deep purple man.

Black Sabbath/Heaven & Hell man and all-round grandaddy of all things heavy, Tony Iommi, has revealed that he is to work with Ian Gillan man again.

Speaking exclusively to Hammer, Iommi says: “Ian was at mine a few weeks back, and we put a couple of tracks down, just to try and raise some money for Armenia. We raised some money 20 years ago and we wanted to do it again, to be able to buy stuff. We went over a few months ago because they gave us an Order Of honour from the president and so Ian and I went over and Pat Cash came. They showed us what the money had bought. They showed us this old music school, it was freezing and the kids had no instruments so we bought them some new instruments – drums and guitars – and we want to build a new school for the kids.

We’re going to do a few songs and, hopefully, we can raise the money to afford to buy them a new school. The plans are quite open at the moment. We’ve talked about doing a couple of shows out there, but it’s about working round what we are both doing – because we [Heaven And Hell] hope touring will start again soon.”
