Dio is dead.

[Mephisto D]

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.

Listening to everything and anything Dio related for the rest of the night.

Raise the horns people, the legend is dead.

I only know him from Kickapoo. I guess young JB won't unlock the secret doors after all.

Also, holy s**t. R.I.P Dio is taking over youtube comments.

He will tell JB to open doors... from HEAVEN.

Also the song Dio by Tenacious D sounds a lot more grim now. surprised

I always thought he'd go out in a more metal way. ******** cancer.

But those people are not metal like he is.

I wanted him to go out skydiving out of a plane on a flaming motorcycle while he busted out a sweet riff.

He made cancer metal!

One of metal's greatest legends...gone. Raise your horns, people.

Heavan & Hell and Holy Diver all the way, Dio. You shall be missed.
