Damn.  I just read a few hours ago about a false death announcement and his wife said that he was not dead, but it was not looking good.

I'll have to work some Dio related listening into my schedule today.  R.I.P. Cry

I'm shocked.  I had no idea he had cancer.  His legendary voice will be sorely missed.

I am devastatedCry. The whole thing brought back memories of my mom's illness and passing, only a few years ago. We were lucky to see him perform last year with Heaven and Hell. He seemed such a force of nature... I just can't believe he's gone.

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.

- Wendy Dio

It only seems a couple of months ago that his fight against cancer was announced.

One of the very greatest rock vocalists and very influential.

Play Stargazer in his memory:
