Ronnie James Dio - Dead

Ronnie James Dio is gone. His wife Wendy Dio said on Ronnie's official site:

"Today my heart is broken, Ronnie passed away at 7:45am 16th May. Many, many friends and family were able to say their private good-byes before he peacefully passed away. Ronnie knew how much he was loved by all. We so appreciate the love and support that you have all given us. Please give us a few days of privacy to deal with this terrible loss. Please know he loved you all and his music will live on forever."

I know his music is not to everyone's tastes here, but for years I enjoyed his vocals in songs from Black Sabbath, Rainbow and Dio. He will be missed.

Ronnie James Dio dead - Houston Chronicle

May 16, 2010

Ronnie James Dio, legendary vocalist for Black Sabbath, Heaven & Hell and Dio, has died after a battle with stomach cancer, according to his wife, Wendy Dio. He was 67 years old. The heavy metal singer died early this morning. He was being treated at M.D. Anderson in Houston.

"The grand wizard of classic rock" was born in New Hampshire and first burst onto the scene with the band Elf. Dio's last studio work as part of Heaven & Hell, The Devil You Know, was released in 2009. The band was scheduled to tour this summer but canceled all dates in early May.

He's not dead yet, he's just very ill. His wife released a statement this afternoon. I'll post it as soon as I can find the link again.

EDIT: Found it http://www.ecanadanow.com/entertainm...t-dead-update/

I'll be really sad when he dies though. I saw Heaven and Hell with Megadeath maybe two years ago, and it was AMAZING.

Whenever I get dumped, I nail the door shut so that no one can come inside, get a towel and clip it around my neck so it's like a Superman cape, take off my shoes so I can slide across the room, and...get a fake mic, like a celery stick or a pen, and I play any record that features the vocalist Ronnie James Dio. And you can just pretend you're Dio, because on every album he does, he has minimum one, usually three, *EVIL WOMAN LOOK OUT!*- songs. And if you wanna point like Dio, it's a three-finger point. (heavy metal voice) The exit is that way. Evil LURKS! Evil lurks in twilight! Dances in the DARK! Evil woman! Just WALK AWAY!
