Dio - Dio Has Passed Away
What started as a rumour on twitter and various websites has now actually happened. Earlier in the day/night it was denied by Wendy Dio, stating that Ronnie James Dio was "still hanging in there", but a few moments ago the official Ronnie James Dio website posted the following statement:
"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."
The news is spreading as wildfire, the official Dio website might be down due to too much traffic.
Our condolences go out to the family, friends and fans of Ronnie James Dio. Rest in peace.

Such terrible news... I thought he had been doing much better for awhile now. Have fun brandishing your sword in the Afterlife Dio. You've left a hell of a legacy.
