Black Sabbath keyboardist Geoff Nicholls has passed away at the age of 68. Nicholls joined the band in 1979, originally as a second guitarist, but switched to keyboards and remained with the hard rockers until 2004. He appeared on nine Sabbath records. On Facebook, guitarist Tony Iommi wrote, “I’m so saddened to hear the loss of one of my dearest and closest friends Geoff Nicholls. He’s been suffering for a while now with lung cancer and he lost his battle this morning. Geoff and I have always been very close and he has been a real true friend to me and supported me all the way for nearly 40 years. I will miss him dearly and he will live in my heart until we meet again.”
