Black Sabbath guitar player Tony Iommi is to donate his used guitar strings to Wear Your Music, a charity which turns the strings into jewellery.
All proceeds from the sales of the jewellery is donated by the organisation to music therapy charity Nordoff Robbins.
The guitarist’s used strings are being turned into bracelets and necklaces and joins the likes of Eric Clapton, Carlos Santana and Ziggy Marley in donating to the cause.
At Wear Your Music, Iommi is described as ‘the inventor of heavy metal with his trademark riffs powering the legendary Black Sabbath.
‘Having sliced off the ends of three fingers in a factory accident when first starting out Tony switched to very light gauge strings. These make his bracelet especially unique.’
Black Sabbath’s latest album - 13 – is their first with Ozzy Osborne since 1978’s Never Say Die. The record is due for release on 10 June.
