I'd join in the chorus of well wishers-hopefully they have diagnosed it early enough for the treatment to be given soonest.

Horrible news.   :(

Unlike some of you, I don't know anything about the condition or his chances of a full recovery.... I just hope they caught it in time for the best possible treatment, whatever that may be. 

After Dio's death and what happened to Leslie West last year.... my heroes are getting old and a bit frail.  I guess that means I'm nearly there too.  :|

this is terrible news of course :(

it was mostly Iommi who made me pick the guitar up in the first place.

hope he gets well soon

Nice guy by all accounts.
Back in the 90s after a gig in Manchester he took a gang of backstage autograph hunters to McDonalds.
i wasn't there but my friends said he was really level headed.

Class act indeed.

I really hope the ol' Iron Man pulls through here :( I'm sure he'll riff it off though.
