BQ: Favorite song featuring Ronnie James Dio?
Bolt Thrower: There was a rumor going around late last night, that turned out to be false at the time. Now, as of 15 minutes ago, there is a message from his wife on his official website.
Since the website is down due to traffic, here is the message:
"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

I was so hoping he could beat this cancer. I am heartbroken now. I remember the first time I saw him walk out on stage to perform and I was so amazed at his voice and his presence. He was truly so special. A friend of mine met him once and told me how nice he was. I am glad I got to see him perform when I did. So sad. May he rest in peace.
BA: Heaven and Hell.
Powerful live version with some great pictures.

Pray to whichever God or higher power if you believe to take care of Ronnie wherever he is now. Tough day for rock and metal fans. God bless you Man on the Silver Mountain \m/ Time to crank all your records loud enough for you to hear in metal heaven.
BQ: I could never pick one, lately I've been enjoying Eating The Cannibals, but Dio's too good to pick one. I spun Holy Diver all night.

I've always liked his stuff. I can't listen to Children of the Sea from the album Heaven and Hell by Black Sabbath without feeling down since I heard the news. The songs just brings out this sad tune and the Heaven and Hell song is so powerful now. Holy Diver and Rainbow in the Dark too. R.I.P. Long live the Godfather of Heavy Metal

I dont pay attention to celebrity news because it could be false and be rumours. Its sad a day that a legend passed away from stomach cancer that was trying to battle the odds of getting better that if he did feel better that he was going to busy for the coming months with Heaven and Hell getting back into the studio and Ronnie's band recording new material

damn, that sucks, RIP Dio
BQ: Rainbow in the Dark
I really need to fix my binder, i went to draw the Dio logo on it, but I accidentally wrote Doi. it's been like that for a few months now
- King CrimsonLv 61 decade ago
That sucks, man. Dio was legit... I wonder how times will be when all our classic rockers are gone, it seems they are dying out fast.
BQ: Has to be "Man on the Silver Mountain"... maybe "Stargazer".

I don't pay much attention to celebrity news so I just found out he was sick this morning. Stomach cancer is hardcore, he was a tough bastard to hang on as long he did. He definitely made his mark in rock and metal, it's hard to believe that he started in 1957. 53 years is one hell of a run, he was rocking as long as Sugaree has been alive.
BQ: One of them is Rainbow's Stargazer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SedQcg-65a8
