Sad moment for rock and metal fans.
Ronnie James Dio died today. As many of us know, he was one of the icons of rock and metal stage, performing with legendary bands like Rainbow, Black Sabbath, Heaven & Hell, and his own band Dio and guest appearance with Deep Purpe.
On his official website there is this announcement:
“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”
Our sincere condolences.
