Lita Ford says that she has no regrets about detailing what she has described in her memoir as an abusive relationship with Tony Iommi. The female rocker opened up about her tumultuous romance with the BLACK SABBATH guitarist in “Living Like A Runaway: A Memoir”, in which she accuses Iommi of attacking her on at least two occasions as he battled severe drug addiction. During an appearance on the “Trunk Nation” show on SiriusXM channel Volume, Lita said that she was “not sorry” she wrote about Iommi’s allegedly physically abusive behavior toward her “because it hurt me just as much as it hurt people to read about it. They were obviously into the book when they read it,” she said. “I was the one that got the butt end of the stick on that.
“I still think he’s an amazing guitar player; it doesn’t take that away from me,” she continued. “He’s my idol. I still idolize his music; it doesn’t take that away.”
