Mr Iommi will be awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Arts on Tuesday 19th November in recognition of his contribution to the world of popular music, in particular his role as one of the founding fathers of heavy metal music and his status as one of the industry’s most influential figures.
Tony, who will be heading straight from the graduation ceremony to join Black Sabbath in Helsinki for the start of their latest European tour, said:
“It’s a great honour to receive the doctorate, which comes towards the end of a challenging but amazingly successful year for me. I’d like to thank everyone at Coventry University for my nomination and look forward to meeting them at the ceremony.”
