Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi is to undergo treatment for cancer after being diagnosed with lymphoma.

Iommi, a founder member of the Birmingham heavy metal band, has been diagnosed with the early stages of the disease.  In a statement on the 63-year-old's website, his fellow band members urged fans to send "positive vibes".  The band said they would move from Los Angeles to London to work with Iommi while he undergoes treatment. 

"The Iron Man of Rock and Roll remains upbeat and determined to make a full recovery," Black Sabbath said.

Good luck to him.

Indeed.  Apparently it can be curable if caught early enough.
