Ronnie James Dio has come down with stomach cancer. Thankfully it was caught in the early stages. Story is here: http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=131004

Let us talk and celebrate all things Dio in this thread and hope that we will not lose one of the best singers ever.

Some kick ass music this man has created:

    I've been living my life under the idea that Ronnie James Dio would outlive me and would make glorious music for my children.

    Also he should have been Doviculus. Fuck Tim Curry.

    I really hope he can overcome this. If Dio died, I might actually understand what people felt like when MJ died.

    I posted this in the Hesher and Goatvomit thread in D&D. Such a bummer. Hopefully he pulls through! I'd rather he pass naturally then be stricken down by the dragon that is cancer. He's supposed to slay dragons, not succumb to them damnit!

    I listened to Heaven & Hell really loud in respect.

    His name is Dio and he dances on the sand
    Just like that river twisting through a dusty land
    And when he shines he really shows you all he can
    Oh Dio, Dio dance across the Dio Grande!

    more edges than a tesseract on this post right here







    anyway Dio isn't one of my favourite musicians but he has influenced most of them heavily and and he hates gene simmons to extents that demand respect

    oh holy shit he can not die before gene simmons there is no way that can happen

    Also if you like Dio check out The Devil You Know, released just this year. Great CD from Dio-era Black Sabbath (Now known as Heaven and Hell).

    I also hope he pulls through, although I'm pretty sure illnesses and cancer count as natural causes.
