Black Sabbath’s Tony Iommi is the latest rock star to get in on the autobiography fad.
Iommi was recently interviewed by Barbara Caserta of Italian web radio Linearock.it about his future endeavors, which include an autobiography called, Iron Man: My Life with Black Sabbath and Beyond, as well as supergroup 
WhoCares, which is a collaboration between Iommi and Deep Purple vocalist Ian Gillan.

Regarding the one-year anniversary of Ronnie James Dio’s death:
“I can’t believe how a year has gone by so quickly. Since Ronnie’s passing, there was a lot of grief and a lot of upset because we shared a lot of life together. Being in the same band together, we got very close, and we were very good friends. And when somebody goes that quick, it’s very much of a shock, and I can’t tell you how sad the whole thing’s been. … He was a true genius, really, and a true believer in what he did. And he would never let the fans down, and that’s a great thing about Ronnie… That’s one of the great things about Ronnie. So, yeah, he’ll be absolutely greatly missed.”
On his future plans:
“I’ve got a lot of things in the can, but I can’t talk about that at the moment. I am doing my autobiography now, which comes out at the end of this year. I’m also doing [music for] three movies. It’s gonna be three altogether, but I’m doing one first and then we’ll take on another one next year or whenever. But I’ve signed up with a producer for three films. So that’s something else that’s gonna keep me very busy. And I’ve also got another project that I’m writing at the moment. I’m doing a lot of writing.”
WhoCares will drop their debut single in North America on June 27 through Eagle Rock Entertainment and in Europe on May 24 via earMUSIC.
