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...

 

It is the end of an era. One of the greatest frontmen of all time has left us.

Peter Steele a few weeks ago, and now this.

What a crappy year for music.

J'adore aussi le sexe et les snuff movies

Je trouve que ce sont des purs moments de vie

Je ne me reconnais plus dans les gens

Je suis juste un cas désespérant

Et comme personne ne viendra me réclamer

Je terminerai comme un objet retrouvé

I hear it is fake. Not 100% sure though.

Reacting impulsively and saying what's on your mind feels oh so good.. for a little, until you realize you just started WWIII.

Very sad news, indeed. He was definitely one of the most influential people in the music industry. But I've been suspecting this was gonna happen for a few weeks now, ever since Heaven & Hell cancelled their Sonisphere gig.

 

He seemed like an incredibly down-to-earth and genuinely nice guy. R.I.P.

Seeing as my topic was first it got locked. Anyways this is what I said in it:

 

*TAKEN FROM METALHAMMER.CO.UK WEBSITE*

 

After initial rumours were dismissed earlier today, Metal Hammer is devastated to report that Ronnie James Dio has passed away.

Metal Hammer and the world of heavy metal are in mourning after learning that the legendary Ronnie James Dio has passed away after losing his battle with stomach cancer.

 

In a statement from his wife and manager, Wendy Dio has said the following:

 

Today my heart is broken, Ronnie passed away at 7:45 a.m. [on Sunday] 16th May. Many, many friends and family were able to say their private goodbyes 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.

The iconic Black Sabbath, Rainbow, Dio and Heaven & Hell vocalist will forever be held in the highest of regards by all fans of rock and metal.

 

Our thoughts and sincerest condolences go out to Wendy Dio, his family, his bandmates and all who were lucky enough to know a man who will always be known as one of the finest rock singers of our time and one of the most well-loved characters in the history of rock music.

 

We invite you to leave your testimonials to the great man below.

I saw him on the first heaven and hell tour a couple of years ago and it was awesome. Very glad I got to see him live.

NO! They always die too soon! :(

This is probably the saddest I've been since my grandmother passed 5 years ago. I'll be spinning The Devil You Know, Mob Rules, Holy Diver incessantly for a few weeks.

May he rest in peace. He was a real inspiration for a lot of my friends garage bands and Holy Diver will forever be the song I would want to die hearing in the midst of a battle.

Metal has lost its most talented vocalist today. Whilst there are other greats, Ronnie James Dio is quite easily the most talented. Rock on, you holy diver!

Definately one of the greatest vocalists of all time. He will be missed.

RIP Dio.

Metal has lost a god.

 

If I see someone using the devil's horns, and they don't know what it means, or who created it, I'm punching them in the face for him.

The guy invented the horns.

RIP :(

 

Makes me think Ozzy is next :(

He's like 63 or something, and he's still at it. I think all that karma is going to bite him in the back sooner or later.

I was going to eat hot dogs for dinner tonight. I think I will settle for cereal.

 

OPEN WIDE HERE COMES THE HELICOPTER.

Heard about this earlier. It's a [cabbage] day for music. RIP Ronnie James Dio.

It isn't in the castle, It isn't in the mist, It's a calling of the waters, As they break to show, The new Black Death, With reactors aglow, Do you think your security, Can keep you in purity, You will not shake us off above or below
