Tony Iommi to Raffle Gibson SG to Help Fund £150,000 Upgrade to Hospital Cancer Unit

He is giving back to Birmingham’s Heartlands Hospital where he received treatment for lymphoma.

Overview

  • The Black Sabbath guitarist joined Heartlands Hospital staff on November 5 to launch a fundraiser targeting £150,000 to refurbish the cancer treatment centre.
  • He will raffle one of his own Gibson SG guitars to boost donations for the appeal.
  • The raffle is not yet live, and Iommi said he will announce entry details on his social media accounts.
  • Hospital leaders say funds will support patient-comfort improvements at the unit, including new chemotherapy chairs.
  • Iommi, 77, was treated at Heartlands more than a decade ago for lymphoma and later reported his cancer went into remission, and he indicated the raffle window will run for about a month once it opens.
