[Deimos]

Heavy metal singer Ronnie James Dio passed away Sunday morning, of cancer. His wife, Wendy Dio, posted the following message on www.ronniejamesdio.com:

"Today my heart is broken, Ronnie passed away at 7:45 a.m. May 16. 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."

Dio performed with Elf, Rainbow, Black Sabbath, Heaven and Hell and Dio.

We have lost a legend. RIP DIO, you will be missed and thank you for your amazing music.
