Anthony Frank “Tony” Iommi, born February 19, 1948, in Birmingham, England, was the guitarist and principal riff writer for Black Sabbath. At 17, while working in a sheet-metal factory, he lost the tips of two fingers on his right hand in an industrial accident. He adapted his technique, fashioned prosthetic fingertips, and used lighter strings and lower tunings, helping create the heavy, dark guitar sound associated with the band. Tony Iommi, singer Ozzy Osbourne, bassist Geezer Butler, and drummer Bill Ward formed a group called Earth in 1968 and adopted the name Black Sabbath in 1969. Their self-titled debut appeared in 1970, followed by albums including Master of Reality (1971) and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath (1973). With Ronnie James Dio on vocals, Black Sabbath released Heaven and Hell in 1980. Tony Iommi later reunited with Dio, Butler, and drummer Vinny Appice under the name Heaven & Hell; the group toured and released The Devil You Know in 2009.

Tony Iommi’s solo and collaborative albums included Iommi (2000), The 1996 DEP Sessions (2004) and Fused (2005), the latter two made with Glenn Hughes. With Deep Purple vocalist Ian Gillan, he formed the charity project WhoCares, releasing the single “Out of My Mind” in 2011 and a compilation album in 2012 to support a music school in Armenia. Black Sabbath’s 13 followed in 2013. Tony Iommi later released the instrumental singles “Scent of Dark” (2021) and “Deified” (2024). He performed at both the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, and played on Ozzy Osbourne’s Patient Number 9 (2022), including the Grammy-winning “Degradation Rules.” In 2025, the original Black Sabbath lineup reunited for its final performance at Birmingham’s Villa Park; Osbourne died weeks later. Tony Iommi was appointed MBE in 2026. His solo album From the Dark was released on October 23, preceded by “World Alone” and “Stormwatcher.” The album featured vocalist Jørn Lande, bassist Becky Baldwin, drummer Karl Brazil, and a guest guitar solo by Brian May.
