Tony Iommi interviewed by J.Carrott at Birmingham's Black Sabbath Bench unveiling

Hundreds of Black Sabbath fans gathered in Birmingham to see an artistic bench presented to the band's guitarist.
The bench, the idea of "super-fan" and architect Mohammed Osam, will be put on the renamed Black Sabbath Bridge over the canal on Broad Street.
Guitarist Tony Iommi said: "I think it's absolutely great. I was wondering what it was going to look like but it is really fantastic. I really love it."
The bench incorporates the images of the band's four original members.
The bench was forged in the city and is inscribed "Geezer. Ozzy. Tony. Bill. Made in Birmingham 1968'.
Fans applied for 350 tickets to see the presentation.
Paying tribute to them, Iommi said: "These are our fans and some of them have come from all over the world and it's just brilliant to see that."
The presentation took place at St Luke's Church on Gas Street.
The event also saw Bill Ward awarded a star on the city's Walk of Stars. The stars dedicated to Black Sabbath will eventually be realigned in front of the bench, event organisers said.

It is good that metal music as well receives it’s fair amount of recognition. Now that the band has ceased to exist, the name Black Sabbath and the idea behind it live on.
