According to Underecover News, BLACK SABBATH's Tony Iommi is the latest big-name musician to get involved with Rock The Cure, a fund and awareness-raising charity that aims to help collect money through the online auctioning of personalized celebrity-designed Gibson guitars.

Guitar giant Gibson have donated 50 Gibson Les Paul SG Special guitars to be made over by the unique designs of any willing celebrities.

Iommi joins a list of compassionate high profile celebrities including Sheryl Crow, Rod Stewart, Ellen DeGeneres, Melissa Etheridge, David Carradine, Mick Fleetwood, Joe Perry of AEROSMITH, Brian Johnson of AC/DC, Billy Morrison and CAMP FREDDY and NO DOUBT.

The live "Designer Gibson Guitar Auction" begins at the Los Angeles Hard Rock Café on May 3 at 8:30, and is for invited guests only. However, the online auction starts on April 24 and is open to any game bidder at www.juliensauctions.com.
