Iommi was appointed visiting professor
Black Sabbath guitarist Iommi received an honorary doctorate in arts from London's Coventry University last year. Now, Iommi has been appointed a visiting professor at the university's music faculty.
In May, Iommi gave his first lecture at the institution this year. The university's director, Geoff Willcocks, commented on the riff master's lecture: “He was incredibly generous and open about all aspects of his work. Tony is undoubtedly a rock icon and an inspiration to many around the world.”
The head of the arts department at London's Coventry also spoke about Iommi's presence: “His experience and knowledge are incredibly valuable to our students. It's a fantastic opportunity for them to learn from such an immensely talented individual.”
