Yerevan /Mediamax/. Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi has recalled his visit to Armenia of June 2019.

Iommi addressed his fans in a video on the Christmas Eve, summing up the year.

“Well, it’s been an interesting year for me and Sabbath,” Iommi recounts. “We started at the beginning of the year getting a Grammy award, a Lifetime Achievement award, which is brilliant. I mean, it’s really great. It’s the highest award you can have, Grammy-wise. And then, a month afterward, I went to Armenia with Ian Gillan for the 30th anniversary of Rock Aid Armenia, which was a fabulous memory. We had a great time there. We went to visit the school that we built, and that was lovely. And see all the kids and see all the people.”

The ceremony marking the 30th anniversary of Rock Aid Armenia took place on 5 June 2019 in Yerevan.
