Black Sabbath news reveals that the band might be playing their last concert on July 4th at London's Hyde Park, according the band's guitarist Tony Iommi. Meanwhile, he's also on the look out for his health after his cancer diagnosis.
The band will headline this year's Barclaycard British Summer Time festival. It is a 10-day event that features some of today's top music acts, comedy acts and films, and themed pubs and cocktail bars.
Black Sabbath news further revealed that joining them are veteran American bands such as Soundgarden, Faith No More, Soulfly, Australian band Wolfmother, and fellow British act Motorhead.
The 66-year old Iommi, who was diagnosed with lymphoma in 2012, spoke to Metal Hammer about some Black Sabbath news, and what could be the band's final show.
"It could be the last ever Sabbath show," said Iommi. "I don't want it to be, but there's nothing really planned touring-wise after that show, so for all we know that could be it really."
"To be honest I don't want to be touring to this extent too much longer, because it makes me feel so bad," he continued.
Iommi has been undergoing treatment since his diagnosis. He has undergone and completed successful treatment in March, and is now waiting for further updates from his doctors.
He has been with Black Sabbath since its formation in 1968, wherein he was part of all of the band's 19 studio albums.
His most notable work was on the 1971 record "Master of Reality", which featured the debut of his signature guitar sound that the band has been known for.
But after his diagnosis, Tony Iommi has been keeping a watchful eye on his condition.
"I'm at a stage now where I have no support, which means I have to see whether the cancer is coming back or if it's still there or what," he continued. "I just don't know. It's a bit of a worry. After we finish this tour I'll go in and have scan, so we'll see what that shows up."
Black Sabbath is currently touring for their 2013 record "13", the band's first studio album after 18 years. The worldwide audience has so far received it positively, as it debuted at number one on the official UK album charts, making it their first chart-topping album in almost four decades.
