Rumor has it, Dio died today.

[Dead_Lioness]

Oh, I was afraid of this day... :/
Hope it's not true

 

[Iris]

www.metalfan.nl denies the rumour.
They claim R.J. Dio is still alive.

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

[Craysh3]

this is gonna be terribly cliche, but I'm gonna be playing Heaven and Hell and the Mob Rules the entire day just to get over this. And I saw him live twice already, and I still feel like I missed out. That was a golden man that was taken from us this day.

 

[Super Mahrio]

That just sucks. Not another one!

RIP DIO!

 

[Chromatose]

Dio has rocked for a long, long time,
Now it's time for him to pass the torch.
He has songs of wildebeests and angels,
He has soared on the wings of a demon.

It's time to pass the torch,
You're too old to rock, no more rockin' for you.

 

[azal]

saw him three times with Dio, never with HnH unfortunately.

I've been planning to get a tattoo of the HnH cover for a while now, will be doing that soon. always loved that painting (and album)

 

[Swabs]

This is shit, seriously shit. R.I.P indeed.

Shame that his death is surrounded by so much ambiguity too, what with it first being a rumor, then being denied, now being confirmed

 

[fading]

FUCK!!! RIP!! He will forever live on in all he has given us with music.

 

[CrackedKnäckebröd]

I thought he was getting better... that sucks

If anyone deserves a HUGE tribute concert it would be this man. Rest in Peace.
