Who was he exactly?

 

[afaceforradio]

Ah poor Dio RIP that's a shame.

 

[Cherry Cola]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

PLEASE GOD NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[sub]Pull yourself together, Hub. Pull it together![/sub]

Ahum...

..........

Fuck.

 

[Dok Zombie]

I refuse to believe it, Dio is invincible!

 

[Jaqen Hghar]

Who was he exactly?

...
I hope you are joking....

This is a sad day for good music.

 

[Armored Prayer]

Hes dead?

Nooooooo!!!!

I don't believe it!

 

[Wardnath]

They're false, he's likely still alive. Hell, the Wikipedia admins locked the page from editing.

Also worth noting that the Metal Archives are calling BS on it, too.

 

[oppp7]

OMG not Dio!
...Who's Dio? *Wikis* Wow, he sounds pretty famous. Sorry for you guys.

 

[SharPhoe]

...And now no one will ever remember who Dio Brando is named after.
That's a real shame, though. To think it happened not 8 hours ago (in my time) is kinda jarring, really.

Wow.

 

[Generic_Dave]

I just found out, on Facebook of all places. Man my soul dies a little bit.

Hopefully he'll go to that big rock island in the sky.

Big UPs Dio man, we'll miss you.

 

[Deacon Cole]

Who was he exactly?

He was also front man for Black Sabbath after Ozzy Osbourne and had a solo career.

Don't forget Elf.

[HEADING=2]R.I.P. Ronnie James DIo[/HEADING]

[img= align='right' src='http://groovyvic.mu.nu/archives/images/Dio-INT.jpg']Well, it seems that after a long battle with stomach cancer, the metal legend and inventor of 'the horns' Ronnie James Dio [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronnie_James_Dio] has passed away. Upon hearing the news I was skeptical after a rumour emerged this morning, though that was swiftly proven wrong.

In a statement from his wife and manager, Wendy Dio has said the following:

?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.
?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.?

I'm sure many of you will join me in a tribute to this great man in listening to his music tonight. Farewell, you Holy Diver. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QuVfrLh9Oz4]

Don't even fucking joke. Seriously. No way.

Who was he exactly?

Only the vocalist of Black Sabbath and Dio, among others.
EDIT:

Spoiler: This needs some tributes

My threads always get superseded by other ones

But still, as long as the news gets through.

Goodnight Sweet Prince.

When his official website says he's dead, I find it hard to be skeptic about the situation.

True.

He ruined Black Sabbath's sound but otherwise he was alright.
