Dio passed away today as a result of a battle with stomach cancer, he was 67 years old.

Quote:

"Today my heart is broken, Ronnie passed away at 7:45 a.m. [on Sunday] 16th May. Many, many friends and family were able to say their private goodbyes 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."

R.I.P, you ****ing man.

Rainbow in the Dark, man. Legend. May he rest in peace.

I'd never heard of this guy before today.

This news totally ruined my day yesterday. Ronnie is probably my favorite vocalist ever, and Rainbow (Only the stuff with him, really) is one of my favorite bands. The music world really lost a legend, and man, what a voice! I unfortunately never got to see him live, something I'm really going to regret now. He was a really down to earth gentleman who really cared about his fans. You will be missed Ronnie. :'(
