Title: RIP Ronnie James Dio
Post by: frezal on May 16, 2010, 03:55:23 PM: Ronnie James Dio lost his battle with stomach cancer this morning. He was truly a legend.

Heaven & Hell - Bible Black - Sonisphere 09 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UPleIdPUb4#)

I'm so glad I didn't put off seeing Heaven & Hell last summer.

What is with you kids? He's the one who introduced "the horns" to rock music.

Post by: frezal on May 17, 2010, 01:23:51 PM: Tony Iommi (co-founder/guitarist of Black Sabbath/Heaven & Hell) had a rather sweet message on his website:

"Yesterday 16th May my dear, dear friend Ronnie James Dio passed away at 7.45am LA time. I’ve been in total shock I just can’t believe he’s gone. Ronnie was one of the nicest people you could ever meet, we had some fantastic times together. Ronnie loved what he did, making music and performing on stage. He loved his fans so much. He was a kind man and would put himself out to help others. I can honestly say it’s truly been an honor to play at his side for all these years, his music will live on forever. Our thoughts are with Wendy Dio who stood by Ronnie until the end, he loved her very much. The man with the magic voice is a star amongst stars, a true professional. I’ll miss you so much my dear friend. RIP - Tony"

The other two Sabbath bandmates have yet to release a statement, though Geezer Butler (bassist/co-founder of Black Sabbath/Heaven & Hell) has posted an image on his web page.
