Which Black Sabbath member released the 2000 solo album Iommi?

Tony Iommi released the 2000 solo album Iommi.

Iommi was the first official solo studio album by Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi. It was released on 17 October 2000 and featured a rotating cast of guest vocalists, including Ozzy Osbourne, Ian Astbury, Henry Rollins, Serj Tankian, Dave Grohl, Billy Corgan, Phil Anselmo, and Peter Steele.

The project was distinctly different from a conventional band album because Iommi wrote and recorded songs with different collaborators. Producer Bob Marlette helped shape the production, while Iommi supplied the central guitar identity. The album was recorded over several years, from 1996 to 2000, before finally receiving release.

The question can cause confusion because Iommi’s earlier project Seventh Star was originally intended as a solo album. Label pressure instead led to it being marketed as Black Sabbath featuring Tony Iommi. Iommi, however, was presented as his proper solo debut. Black Sabbath associates also appear on it: Ozzy Osbourne and Bill Ward perform on “Who’s Fooling Who?”, and Laurence Cottle contributes bass on several tracks.
