The following was taken from Dio's website: Dear Friends and Fans of Ronnie, I have seen lately on Blabbermouth.net a lot of announcements of bands releasing "so-called" Dio Tribute CD's.
Please do not be fooled by thinking they are doing this for the Ronnie James Dio Stand Up And Shout Cancer Fund, the money is going in their pockets and not to the Fund.
I find this totally disgraceful and upsetting that they are trying to make money off of Ronnie's death.

Isn't Jorn hitting the road with the Heaven & Hell memorial show? Does this statement include him?
Don't know about Jorn, but I'd say it's definitely directed towards the likes of Manowar and their Magic Circle buddies' compilation... They point out how much they admire the late Dio in almost every sentence but the profit isn't mentioned anywhere, take a wild guess where will it end up in...
