Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi has been diagnosed with cancer, a statement from the English heavy metal band said.
In the early stages of lymphoma, "Iommi is currently working with his doctors to establish the best treatment plan," according to a statement released Monday. "The 'IRON MAN' of Rock & Roll remains upbeat and determined to make a full and successful recovery."
In November, the four original members of Sabbath -- Iommi, Ozzy Osbourne, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward -- announced they were recording a new album with producer Rick Rubin and would tour in the fall. The last album they recorded together was 1978's "Never Say Die!"
