Ronnie James Dio, July 10, 1942 – May 16, 2010


As our readers will likely have heard, hard rock legend Ronnie James Dio passed away yesterday. Hugely respected and admired amongst both fans and peers, Ronnie sealed his place in music history as singer with Rainbow, Black Sabbath and their later iteration, Heaven & Hell. His wife Wendy made the following announcement on Dio's official website:

"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."
