    To Benefit Armenian Music School

    "They did" Thanks To You...

    New York, NY (Hollywood Today)5/31/11-Black Sabbath lead guitarist
    Tony Iommi and Deep Purple lead singer Ian Gillan have reunited for
    the first time since working together on Sabbath's 1983 Born Again
    album. The resulting two-man project, WhoCares, features an all-star
    array of talent. All of the money generated from the digital Internet
    release of the two-song single on Tuesday, May 10, will benefit the
    music school of Gyumari, Armenia, an area which never recovered from
    a massive 1988 earthquake.

    "Out Of My Mind" features Deep Purple keyboardist Jon Lord, Iron
    Maiden drummer Nicko McBrain, bassist Jason Newsted and HIM guitarist
    Mikko "Linde" Lindstrom. "Holy Water" features Gillan and Iommi with
    guitarists Steve Morris/Michael Lee Jackson, drummer Randy Clarke,
    bassist Rodney Appleby and keyboardist Jesse O'Brien.

    Additionally, on June 21, earMusic, in cooperation with Eagle Rock
    Entertainment, via its subsidiary Armoury Records, will release the
    two songs plus a 30-minute documentary showing the involvement over
    the years of Gillan and Iommi to the Armenian cause, on a special CDE
    (enhanced CD). [MSRP $6.98]

    Gillan told blabbermouth that the idea came when he and Iommi flew
    back from the area together "after being inspired by the enthusiasm
    of everyone there to get this thing done," adding, "it was brilliant
    working with Tony again after all these years. He makes life easy
    for a singer. The other guys need no introduction, do they?"

    "Some 20 years ago," adds Iommi, "when the call came, I thought,
    `well, at least I've helped,' but it was going to Armenia and seeing
    the actual devastation caused by the earthquake that really made me
    realize that funds were still needed."
