I don't even think I have any words. My all-time favorite musician, and one of the greatest guys in the scene, has passed away. RIP
CONFIRMED: Dio has left us :(

NO. Since I first heard him sing in Elf back in the early 70's I've followed him ever since and loved the man for his music and how nice and genuine a person he was. I'm in shock,as I just saw this on CNN's website. The best rock singer that ever was,I'm gonna miss you,ronald pandova.
My 1st concert ever DIO & Rough Cutt on the Sacred Heart tour. I saw him again later on with Doro & Yngwie. Sad day for me. \rip/

Dio was my single biggest influence as a songwriter growing up... saw him 12 times from 1985 to2006... my heart is truly sad today... He will always be the Godfather of Heavy Metal for me.

RIP Ronnie James Dio. You will live on forever in our hearts. I am truly saddened by this. He was one of the greats and we must not let his music fade into the nothing. I feel very lucky to have had the opportunity to see him a couple of times perform with Black Sabbath. He truly will be missed.

Given Joacim Cans's set of pipes, I wouldn't be surprised to hear Hammerfall pull out a couple of Dio covers this year. And I'd be happy to hear it if they did.

I'm so sad right now, but I feel lucky to have seen him perform many times. He was truly a legend. R.I.P.

Whoa, just read this and I am literally choking back tears. This is truly a sad day for Metal. He was one of the greatest vocalist of all time. We will miss you Ronnie!

This news was a total kick in the gut. I never met the man, but he seemed like such a genuine guy. He was the ideal ambassador for metal, and he will be missed.

I just found out also and I still can't believe it. I am truly bummed out that one of my favorite singers is gone. God bless Ronnie and his family.

I don't even know what to say, DAM, DAM,DAM. Like ever one else I thought he would live forever. I will cherish my only two times seeing him live. Once with D.I.O. and the other with Heaven&Hell. Rest in peace my friend.

Damn. I was really hoping earlier when there was a "mistake" that it really was a mistake. Now that I'm home and see this I am truly devastated. He is truly one of the true unique voices in metal. He will be missed, and now it is time to celebrate by playing Dio classics all night long.

The day the metal died.
This is very sad indeed. I raise the horns high in tribute. I hope to hear a tribute song somewhere this year at a show. Hopefully PP. I know what will be played tonight.
Rest in peace Ronnie.
