In January, it was revealed that legendary Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi had been diagnosed with lymphoma. Now, he has posted the following message on his Facebook page updating on his health condition: "Hiya, a little update on how it's all going: well, I've had the last dose of chemotherapy so hopefully my body will start to get back to normal soon, the steroids were the worse. I've now got three weeks of radiotherapy coming up which I'm told can be very tiring so we'll see."

German metallers U.D.O. have issued the following update on their official website:

"The release of the new album Rev-Raptor which was initially planned for January 14th, 2011 was unfortunately postponed to March 18th, 2011!

The reason therefor is the sadly reappearance of Stefan's strong back suffering which forced him to quit playing drums in Accept back in the days. This setback hit Stefan in the middle of the recording session for the new album and forced everybody to make a longer pause now.

Stefan is under medical treatment at a specialist and we all hope that he will recover soon.

The show on November 06th, 2010 in Augsburg where U.D.O. will be headliner in front of 9.000 expected fans at the "Masters of Rock Antenne" festival in the "Schwabenhalle" is not compromised."
