The cancer victim continues to receive medical attention for his illness, and that's put a limit on how much he can achieve. Asked whether there's more music to come from Sabbath, Iommi tells CT.com: "It's a question that's been asked a few times. I don't really have an answer. Because of my treatments and stuff I can't commit to doing another two years or anything like that. I have to play it as it comes now."

But he adds: "I'm really enjoying it. If the rest of the year goes well, then we'll look at it and see if it's possible to do another album. It would be very nice to.
