Tim Masters from BBC News caught up with Iommi at the Classic Rock Awards on Monday, who says he is making a good recovery after receiving stem-cell treatment on an injured hand.
"It's been six weeks but it's feeling great," Iommi says"He had his hand strapped up at the rock awards, but said he was still able to pick up his guitar.
"No, I can play! " he said. "I'm just wearing this now because if people shake your hand I don't want to push it, I want to take it easy for a bit."But it's been really good, and I'm glad I went that route before having any kind of operation."
Other guitarists at the Classic Rock Roll of Honour Awards praised Iommi's skill.
"Tony's been tremendous because he lost the end of a couple of his fingers - so even more power to him to come through that and become one of the legends of metal," said IRON MAIDEN's Janick Gers.
