This guy is my main influence when it comes to playing guitar....  Best wishes and a speedy recovery/treatment, Tony!

Terrible news!  He is one of the most under-rated guitar players and song writers there is.  His work on "Heaven and Hell" is amazing. 

May he have a speedy recovery!!!

My fans, friends & colleagues -

I just want to say how overwhelmed I am with all your messages of support, thank you so much.

 Well it's not what I wanted for Christmas, that's for sure, but now I can't wait for the test results to come in and get going with the treatment.

 It's really good that the guys are coming over so that we can continue working on the album as things are going great in the studio.

 Well, not much else to say at this time, so thanks again.

 Bless you all,
 
Tony

His support and playing guitar throughout most of the Freddie Mercury Concert was incredible.

Wishes for a speedy recovery!

Ummm...

Take a closer look at the guitar player.  Pause the video if you have to.  He's a lefty, but it surely isn't Jimi Hendrix...

Besides, the two are apples and oranges and each has their place.  :rock
