He's been in poor health for a while now. He was fighting cancer and plans for a tour later this year were cancelled abruptly. It looks like they knew the end was near.

RIP Ronnie. He was a great singer.

Helluva loss.

Great singer and even better human being.

Time to crank up some Rainbow and work my way through his discography.

RIP Ronnie James Dio \m/(>_<)\m/

Between the velvet lies
There's a truth that's hard as steel
The vision never dies
Life's a never ending wheel

Damn, that's part of my youth right there. Rocking to DIO, Van Halen, White Snake (the earlier stuff, before the glam rock phase), Black Sabbath, Scorpions, Iron Maiden, AC/DC, and others.

RIP!

I had to survive a month out of the country with Holy Diver, Iron Maiden's The Number of the Beast and a huge Sony Walkman.
