I am devastatedCry. The whole thing brought back memories of my mom's illness and passing, only a few years ago. We were lucky to see him perform last year with Heaven and Hell. He seemed such a force of nature... I just can't believe he's gone.

Oh gosh. I can't believe this. Just a few days ago I was wondering how he was feeling, and now this...
I am really overwhelmed with sadness. Thought I'd live to see my second favourite vocalist of all time perform live one day.
Rest in peace, Ronnie - forever in our hearts! Rawks

Vocalist Ronnie James Dio has died after a battle against stomach cancer.


Message from Wendy Dio

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.

- Wendy Dio


Dio came to prominence after joining Rainbow and also went onto to record with Black Sabbath and the offshoot Heaven and Hell. One of the great rock vocalists he will be sorely missed.
