Brian May celebrates Tony Iommi’s birthday ‘Dearest pal in showbiz’ | Music | Entertainment

Tony continued: “We had a very fast connection and we used to talk to each other at all hours of the night in the early days. Now I’m in bed – but in them days, if he knew I was in the studio in London, he’d come over. We’ve jammed a few times. He’s come up on stage and played with me, and we’ve done some album stuff together on different people’s albums. He played on my solo album a couple of times.”

“[He] came down to one of [Black Sabbath’s] rehearsals, when we were rehearsing in London, and we started playing with the band and the band gradually left, and Brian and myself were just left playing there. All the gear had gone except for our gear, and we were still playing!”

The Black Sabbath legend who turned 75 over the weekend said he always has a guitar close to hand when the Queen star comes to his house so they can jam.

Sir Brian, who is the same age, shared a touching birthday message to Tony on his Instagram over the weekend.
