Tony Iommi to publish autobiography
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 20 January 2010
Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi will publish his autobiography, entitled ‘Iron Man’, later this year, it has been announced. In the US, the book will be distributed by Foundry Literary & Media, whose co-founder Peter McGuigan reportedly paid a six-figure amount at auction for the rights.
McGuigan described the book as: “‘Angela’s Ashes’ meets ‘The Ground Beneath Her Feet’ meets ‘Spinal Tap'”.
Ozzy Osbourne, of course, released his autobiography, ‘I Am Ozzy’, last year, and his early 80s replacement as Black Sabbath’s frontman, Ronnie James Dio, is also currently working on his own memoir. Perhaps they could get together and release a box-set of memoirs.
