The Profile

English guitarist, founding member and primary songwriter of Black Sabbath, widely credited with pioneering heavy metal guitar sound.

Founding member of Black Sabbath; lost fingertips in a factory accident which affected his playing and led to use of prosthetic tips; released the solo album 'Iommi' in 2000 featuring multiple guest vocalists; diagnosed with lymphoma (reported as stage three in reviews) which affected touring in the 2010s.

Two DeBaser reviews cover Tony Iommi's autobiography and his 2000 solo album, praising his influence on heavy metal and doom. Reviewers note his long career, factory accident with fingertip loss, and his 2012 lymphoma and its impact on touring. The solo album features many guest vocalists and a near-reunion with Ozzy.
