Tony Iommi To Guest On CSI

by Roger Wink, VVN Music on October 31, 2014

in News

Tony Iommi has posted an update on the Black Sabbath site bringing fans up-to-date with his activities.

Iommi was diagnosed with lymphoma in early 2012 and has been having treatment since, throughout the recording of the Black Sabbath reunion album, 13, and the lengthy tour that followed.

Tony states that he is currently working on song fragments, possibly for the group’s followup to 13, and was contacted by the producers of the CBS series CSI to write a piece for the show. That music will be included on the November 2 episode.

Tony’s note:

People have been asking what exactly I’m doing at the moment, we’ll I’m getting back in the studio having tried to make myself rest after the tours. I’m writing, mostly just putting ideas down rather than complete songs. I like to create all sorts of moods with my music and then decide later how they might be used.

One specific piece though is for the CSI TV series that will be aired in the US on November 2nd. I was asked if I’d be interested so I had a look at the footage and came up with an idea they seemed to like. It’s not very long but it was different working with images rather than just music, I’d certainly be up for doing more.
