"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"

After recent varied rumors circulating, it looks like he has lost his battle with stomach cancer :(

R.I.P. Ronnie you Legend.

I'd like to see Chuck Schuldiner (Death) in on guitar and dual vocals with Dio it Heaven's allstar metal band.

I'd like it if the bards sing it that Dio was eaten by a dragon... a much more epic of an ending.
