Anthony Frank "Tony" Iommi (born 19 February 1948) is an English guitarist, songwriter and producer. Best known as a founding member of the pioneering heavy metal band Black Sabbath, he is the group's sole continual member. Born in Birmingham, England, Iommi worked at a factory where he lost the tips of two of his fingers in an accident. The first major band he played in was Jethro Tull, after which he co-founded Black Sabbath. In 2000, he released his first solo album ''Iommi'', followed by 2005's ''Fused'', which featured his former bandmate Glenn Hughes. After releasing ''Fused'', he joined Heaven & Hell, which disbanded after Ronnie James Dio's death in 2010. Iommi is widely considered to be one of the greatest and most influential rock guitarists of all time. A prolific riff-maker, he was ranked number 25 in ''Rolling Stone'' magazine's list of the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time". In 2011, he published an autobiographic work, titled ''Iron Man: My Journey through Heaven and Hell with Black Sabbath''.
