Ronnie James Dio, legendary vocalist for Black Sabbath, Heaven & Hell and Dio, has died after a battle with stomach cancer, according to his wife, Wendy Dio. He was 67 years old.
The heavy metal singer died early this morning. He was being treated at M.D. Anderson in Houston.
Dio was born in New Hampshire and first burst onto the scene with the band Elf. His last studio work as part of Heaven & Hell, The Devil You Know, was released in 2009. The band was scheduled to tour this summer but canceled all dates in early May.

No link yet. He had stomach cancer. He died this morning or late last night. I enjoyed Dio allot. Prayers and RIP.
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.

No music at all?
He was there from the start, and lasted into an age where corporations turn out f*cking garbage they call "rock."

I use to listen to country, "light" rock and a little tiny bit of classical but that was all.

I never liked him. I couldn't stand to listen to Black Sabbath after he took over for Ozzy. (on the tapes since I wasn't into that music when it actually happened) I always hated that devil horn shit and the whole satanism bullcrap. It always seemed like some sort of messed up way to look cool.

Are you serious? I think Westboro has now jumped the shark. For the love of Pete! :banghead:
Westboro Baptist Church has claimed that it is planning to picket the public memorial of Ronnie James Dio, who died this month from stomach cancer.
The infamous church from Kansas, who have a history of well-documented hatred towards homosexuals, are planning to protest at the memorial in Hollywood on May 30, citing that the singer is a "Satan worshipper."
In a statement released on Thursday, May 20, the church said the ex-Rainbow/Black Sabbath singer used his status and platform to "teach rebellion against God, in the form of glorying atheism, promoting the devil hand sign and other such idolatries."
The statement also read, "The arrogant God-hating fool changed his name from Padavona to Dio (meaning "God" in Italian). His Black Sabbath fans worshipped him as a god. He stood idly by & watched his niece, Gen Padavona, become a filthy porn star. God's promises are true, including his promise to punish the wicked forever."
As previously reported on Spinner, the public memorial for Dio, who was 67, will take place on May 30 at The Hall of Liberty on Forest Lawn Drive in Los Angeles.
Wendy Dio, the singer's manager and wife, has requested in lieu of sending flowers, people should instead donate to the Ronnie James Dio 'Stand Up and Shout Cancer Fund' by sending donations to: Niji Entertainment Group, 12400 Ventura Blvd. #624, Studio City, CA 91604, USA.

Westboro plans to picket the funeral. :censored:
This rebel had a God-given platform – for decades – which he should have utilized to publish the truth of God. Instead, he used that platform – for decades – to teach rebellion against God, in the form glorifying atheism, promoting the devil horn hand sign & other such idolatries. Now he has been cut off by an Angry God & cast into hell.

Somewhere, sometime, they're going to cross a line, and some good-ol-boys (or gals) are gonna stomp some mudholes in their asses, and that'll be the end of them.
And that day can't come soon enough.
-
Those "Baptists" hope to get stomphed so they can sue.
Now having been pals with a rocker or two , the surprise is that some actually lived past 50. They lived pretty hard and pretty stoned. Many died quite young.

Having been backstage at a "Heros of Woodstock" they ain't slowing down much.
