Dio Dead at 67
« on: May 17, 2010, 08:54:49 AM »
Not everyone likes the music, but Ronnie James Dio died at age 67, I saw today. In my younger days, I listened to him quite often, and still like to listen to some of the "oldies". Whether you like the music or not, he was still a great talent. RIP Ronnie!

I was saddened to hear that.  :'(  He had one of the greatest metal voices ever, and he will be missed.
Rest in peace Ronnie.

He always came across as a down to earth guy in every interview I saw him in.
