Legendary guitarist Tony Iommi has said in an interview with the
"metal Hammer" that he will record a few songs with lead singer of
Deep Purple Ian Gillan, aiming at raising funds for the Armenian
music school in Gyumri.
"Ian was at mine a few weeks back, and we put a couple of tracks down,
just to try and raise some money for Armenia. We raised some money 20
years ago and we wanted to do it again, to be able to buy stuff. We
went over a few months ago because they gave us an Order Of honour
from the president and so Ian and I went over and Pat Cash came. They
showed us what the money had bought. They showed us this old music
school, it was freezing and the kids had no instruments so we bought
them some new instruments - drums and guitars - and we want to build
a new school for the kids.
We're going to do a few songs and, hopefully, we can raise the money
to afford to buy them a new school. The plans are quite open at the
moment. We've talked about doing a couple of shows out there, but
it's about working round what we are both doing - because we [Heaven
And Hell] hope touring will start again soon," Tony Iommi stated.
