Terrible news. He was a great vocalist. He'll be missed for sure

Tony Iommi has issued a statement about his bandmate:

"Yesterday 16th May my dear, dear friend Ronnie James Dio passed away at 7.45am LA time. I've been in total shock I just can't believe he's gone. Ronnie was one of the nicest people you could ever meet, we had some fantastic times together. Ronnie loved what he did, making music and performing on stage. He loved his fans so much. He was a kind man and would put himself out to help others. I can honestly say it's truly been an honor to play at his side for all these years, his music will live on forever. Our thoughts are with Wendy Dio who stood by Ronnie until the end, he loved her very much. The man with the magic voice is a star amongst stars, a true professional. I'll miss you so much my dear friend. RIP - Tony"

Last interview

I'm very sad guys. What more can I say.. Now you're immortal Ronnie! ROCK in peace!

RIP

Rest in Peace Dio...

My friend sent me a text message last night about it, I threw myself at the computer and almost cried when I read this.

Sin duda alguna ha muerto la mejor voz del metal, un legado lo que ha dejado este señor. Pensar que nunca podre oir sus clasicos en vivo me da tristeza =( el era nuestro Dio's D:

RIP.

I feel very sad

R.I.P. Ronnie James Dio

Your'e a legend now:(:cry:

All fans never forget you

Dio was my idol. This is probably the worst thing to hear that a great man which was not famous just for his music but also for his philosophy died . I'm gonna miss him and his great voice as well. I think wherever he is, he's still making great music. R.I.P Ronnie James Dio, we will never forget you.

yeah if he lived this would be a great discussion. but now he died man. i find it a bit disrespectful. what i want to say is that today the important isn't if someone has seen him live but his death.

It's not a matter of disrespect, it's a matter of paying tribute by remembering him.

I saw Heaven And Hell perform in 2007, and that show was also the first thing that came into my mind when I heard the news. I keep thinking back to that time I stood there in the rain gazing at a surprisingly good, solid and enjoyable show. Now that I know it was the only time in my life I saw Dio in person, it makes the event all the more special and unique; it's my memory of Ronnie James Dio.

That's the exact same thing I thought when I heard, you mean GMM 2007, right? Dio was in top form that day... Although it seemed like we were miles away from the stage I still have that gig vividly in my memory. Second thing I realised was that "The Devil You Know" was the last piece of music he ever put on record. Poor Ronnie, he seemed invincible. Being over 60 and still having the same voice as 30 years earlier, he MUST've been immortal.

Man, I really thought he would be okay. They caught the cancer early and everything. Even though he is no longer with us, His music and his legacy keep him alive.

Goodbye man, I'll miss you.

I'm listening to Holy Diver now... my tribute to the legendary Dio... R.I.P.
