Azvareth Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 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.

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.

Mithr4ndir Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harakiri Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grogthurk Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topham Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Definately one of the greatest vocalists of all time. He will be missed. RIP Dio. -Destroy Topham- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeptical Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 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.

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.
