Tony Iommi reveals more details of his upcoming solo album
Before the announcement of the final Black Sabbath show, the band's co-founder and guitarist Tony Iommi was working on his next solo album, but he had to pause that work to focus on the band's final concert and the rehearsals. In an interview with Eddie Trunk, the musician said that he is now returning to the process of making the new record and revealed more details.
Tony Iommi reveals more details of his upcoming solo album
" Well, at the moment, well, I was doing my own album until came up, and then, of course, I had to stop and concentrate on the Sabbath (show). But I'm continuing next week on trying to finish off what I started with this album. And then who knows what I'm gonna do then? It's great, really, 'cause if something pops up, I'll do it, if I want to do it. So it's a good thing."
"At the moment, no. I've got one singer on it at the moment, which I originally thought of different singers. But it started off as it's gonna be an instrumental album, and it's gone from I've got some instrumental stuff, but then I thought, 'Oh, I wanna try it with a singer.' And so that's what I've been doing."
Then the musician talked about his recent collaboration with the Pop singer Robbie Williams in the track "Rocket". He also explained that he can't stop making music, he needs to keep going.
He continued:
"(Robbie) asked me if I'd play on this track, and I didn't realize he was gonna release it as a single," Iommi said. "And then he wanted to do a video with it. Oh my God. But it was great to do that. And I enjoyed doing that. And it's great now — I can do different stuff when I want, really, and I'm enjoying it."
"I can't stop, I have to carry on. I enjoy what I do. And it's great being creative. And I love to create music. That's what started me off and that's what will finish me off, probably. But I love it. There will be — yes — more from me. And I'm getting more involved in — we spread our wings with the (Black Sabbath) ballet and different things. And there's a lot more things to come. So I'm looking forward to that," Tony Iommi said (Transcribed by Blabbermouth).
So far Iommi released three studio albums: "Iommi" (2000), "The 1996 DEP Sessions" (2004) and "Fused" (2005). He is the only original member of Black Sabbath who was part of all the albums released by the Heavy Metal band.
