Tony Iommi Of Black Sabbath Backs #ILoveMetal Charity Prize Draw
Written by Johnson Stephen on May 19, 2021
Black Sabbath’s Tony Iommi backs the #ILoveMetal metal-music charity prize draw.
Donations by international metal-music industry heavyweights such as Black Sabbath, Nuclear Blast, My Dying Bride, Laney, Epiphone, Earache, Sony/BMG, Razamataz, Live Nation/Download, 5BAM, Bravado and UK Metal Merger has resulted in nine incredible bundles, with over 1,000 items of ‘money-can’t-buy’ metal memorabilia, merchandise and rarities.
In partnership with Julie Weir/Music For Nations – the #ILoveMetal collection was collated by the UK Metal Merger ‘In Solitude’ single supergroup collaboration, again 
with the motivation of raising funds for the Stagehand Charity.
Stagehand is the only UK charity that specifically helps music stage and road crew and is dedicated to providing severe-hardship funding and mental health support for live events industry workers.
The #ILoveMetal campaign is critical to supporting the ‘behind the scenes’ workers in the live music industry that,
right now, are in crisis. Without them there won’t be a live events industry, even when Covid restrictions are lifted.
Whilst providing the opportunity to win money-can’t-buy prizes, #ILoveMetal is a way for the metal community to
come together to support live music (a cause very dear to our hearts and ears!) giving back to the people who make
these life-affirming events happen.
This is not an auction! It is a series of prize draws for each available bundle. With an auction, only fans with the
deepest pockets get involved, whereas with a prize draw the whole international metal community can participate
through £5 entries via the #ILoveMetal Crowdfunder page https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/ilovemetal. If a fan enters multiple times, they stand a better chance of winning.
The prize draw ends June 11th and the winners will be contacted June 18th 2021.
