R.I.P. Ronnie James Dio (July 10, 1942 – May 16, 2010)






Rock legend Dio has blessed us with his vocal styles in many major key bands through history such as Raindbow, Elf, Black Sabbath, Dio, and Heaven & Hell. He was raised in Cortland, New York, near the Rodchester area. Tenacious D wrote a couple of songs about him and featured him in there movie Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny. His hits include Rainbow In The Dark, Holly Diver, and Heaven & Hell.


~~~~If I have to tell you who he is, you obviously don't listen to rock music. He is a legend who's opera-like vocals are unmatched and will be extremely missed. Although he achieved world wide fame he is very underrated. On May 16th, 2010 he passed away, reportedly due to stomach cancer.


May his soul rest in peace, and his music live on forever.

R.I.P. Dio
