BLACK SABBATH’s TONY IOMMI Behind Armenian EUROVISION Song Entry
– Mar. 3, 2013
According to PanArmenian.net, a song co-written by BLACK SABBATH
guitarist Tony Iommi has been chosen as Armenia’s entry into the
Eurovision Song Contest.
DORIANS frontman Gor Sujyan’s “Lonely Planet” was selected at a
Saturday, March 2 national vote to be performed at Eurovision in
Malmö, Sweden. The identity of the song’s composers – Iommi (music)
and Vardan Zadoyan (lyrics) – had been kept secret for a while.
The dates set for the two Eurovision semifinals are May 14 and May 16,
with the final taking place on the evening of May 18.
Iommi and DEEP PURPLE/ex-BLACK SABBATH singer Ian Gillan have spent a
lot of time in Armenia, fallen in love with the country and the people
and have dedicated a lot of work to a nation still shocked after the
earthquake that struck Armenia on December 7, 1988.
