They announced his cancer in November and just cancelled the next Heaven and Hell tour last week.
Funny thing is there was a rumour circulating around earlier today that he had died and Wendy Dio denied it. Then a few hours later she announced his death.
I learned Holy Diver from the first issue I ever purchased of Guitar For the Practicing Musician in 84.

Crazy that he's gone.
Mob Rules.

Back in the day I used to do close security (bounce) for two bands, Dio and Stryper, two bands totally opposite from one another, one who supposedly sole his sole to the devil (Dio) and the other Christian. Dio's dressing room was a sex infested drug and alcohol dungeon.

Slayer is also Sasha Grey Approved.

Another classic. Damn I'm feeling old.

I'm a Slaytanic maniac. I listen to Slayer probably 75% of time since 1986 when Reign in Blood came out and since.
the day Slayer retires I think I will cry. Their last album was amazing.
I'm sad about DIO though. His voice was amazing.
-
WTF!

A sad day indeed for Mr. Arvilla. His punishment is to be condemned to the bodybuilding prison and watch all of his childhood heroes die away. The pain of an aged hipster ;D

Not my cup of tea sir. I am a huge TOOL fan, I cannot get into death metal no matter how hard I try. The singer might actually tryin SINGING once in a while. Grunting into the mic is retarded IMO.
-
Damn another celebrity down how many does that make in the last year? RIP
-
This is really sad. My first concert ever was a Dio concert from the Sacred Heart tour back in like 84. I just saw him in AC which was my last concert. All of my friends bailed out on me because it was last minute. I'm glad I went because I would have never had that 2nd chance. Great show.
-
He's posing in peace as we speak.
-
Very sad to hear this. One of a very few artists who actually define a genre. He was THE metal vocalist.
I've noticed guys here have posted some of his later work. This was the first song I ever heard with Dio on vocals. I was instantly a fan of this band. Some cool Blackmore guitar intro, as well.
-
Don't even get me started. I've been out all day and just found out. I knew he was sick, but hoped he stick around a bit longer. RIP RJD!

The only Rainbow stuff I really care for was when Dio was the vocalist. Tarot Woman is an awesome tune.

Yes, Joe Lynn Turner makes me sick, a stereotypical rock star poser.
Dio, on the other hand, was not trying to be anything but himself. That's why this holds up 33 years later.

This is very sad news...one of my favorites for over 25 years. And Coach, knowing what I know about Dio, he was never a Satan worshipper. His songs just had fantasy lyrics..but he was never into that. And definitely not your sex, drug, and rock and roll guy. He's been married to the same woman for years..liked sports..He was a decent guy and a great performer.
-
Oh, well — he wasn't going
to write Beethoven's Ninth Symphony anyway.

Fuck off and die a slow and painful death you ignorant SON OF A BITCH. If I was with you right this moment I would shove your cross so far up your ass.

Just saw him in concert last year in San Francisco. Venue had been changed from the Shark Stadium in San Jose.
Great concert and great voice. Had no clue he was battling cancer. He toured and worked right up to the end of his days. Who of us will be able to say the same?
My favorites were always "Holy Diver, Rainbow in the Dark, and We Rock"
That was back when Vivian Campbell was shredding it up too...
R.I.P
My GF was in tears when I got home. Damn.

holy shit!!!
a true titan of metal was lost today...one of the great rock singers of all time. wow. :-\

Hey now! Stryper were no Thin Lizzy, but they weren't that bad. Michael Sweet has a great voice and the band was pretty tight. :)

Ronnie himself was known for eschewing drugs, holding a degree in pharmacology, and the claim of him being involved in anything satanic is idiotic and uninformed. He fired long time bassist Jimmy Bain in 89 for alcohol abuse and even sang on a gospel album in 1980. The friends I have who had known Ronnie would reiterate this as well.

Great article on Ronnie.

I have to agree with your sentiment here, especially as the coach is a drug user himself. Not to mention Stryper have no talent and should not be mentioned in the same breath as Dio.

He performed with Elf, Rainbow, Black Sabbath, Heaven & Hell, and his own band Dio. Other musical projects include the collective fundraiser Hear 'n Aid.

He was collaborating on a project with former Black Sabbath bandmates Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Vinny Appice, under the moniker Heaven & Hell, whose first and only studio album, The Devil You Know, was released on April 28, 2009.[2] He died of stomach cancer aged 67.[3]

Early years
Ronnie James Dio was born Padovan (or Paduan) in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, an only child in an Italian family. They lived in Portsmouth until the family moved to Cortland, New York early in his life. His parents raised him in the Roman Catholic church, an experience he found unsatisfactory.[4]
Dio graduated from the Cortland City School in 1960, and was inducted to the Cortland City School Hall of Fame in 2004.[5] He was also honored on November 15, 1988 by his hometown naming a street after him, Dio Way.[6]
He initially played the trumpet and even recorded several singles with various rockabilly bands when he was a boy. When he was in high school, he joined a band called The Vegas Kings, in which he played the bass guitar. He eventually became the lead singer of this band, which changed its name to Ronnie & The Rumblers and finally to Ronnie And The Red Caps. Their first 7-inch single was released in 1958 on Reb Records under the name Ronnie & The Redcaps. Its A-side, 'Lover' still had Billy DeWolfe on vocals but Dio's voice can be heard clearly in the back. The B-side, 'Conquest' is an instrumental in the style of the Ventures, featuring Dio on trumpet.
Padavona took up the name "Dio" after mafia member Johnny Dio,[7] and first used it professionally in 1961, when he added it to the band's second release on Seneca. Soon after that the band changed their name to Ronnie Dio and the Prophets. The group did several single releases during the following years until they changed their name again in 1967 to (Electric) Elves.
During a performance at the Darien Lake Performing Arts Center in Darien, NY (near Buffalo, NY) on September 19, 2007, Dio revealed that he had attended the University at Buffalo, majoring in pharmacy.[8] University at Buffalo officials confirmed that he did attend from 1960 to '61 but did not graduate.[citation needed] He formed one of his early bands during his freshman year.[9] He was also offered a scholarship to the Juilliard School of Music but did not pursue it due to his interest in rock music.[10] Despite being known for his powerful singing voice, Dio claims never to have taken any vocal training.[4] He attributes his singing ability to the correct breathing techniques he learned when playing the French horn as a child.
Early career
Dio performing with Rainbow. In the middle is Ritchie Blackmore. They first met when Dio's Elf opened for Deep Purple.Dio's musical career began in 1957 when several Cortland, New York musicians formed the band The Vegas Kings, which soon changed their name to Ronnie and the Rumblers. This band's lineup had Padavona on the bass guitar, along with singer Billy DeWolfe, guitarist Nick Pantas, drummer Tom Rogers, and saxophone player Jack Musci.
In 1958 the band again changed their name, along with a few changes of personnel. The band was now known as Ronnie and the Redcaps. At this point, Padavona began singing, replacing de Wolf. Musci also left the band, and a new guitarist, Dick Botoff, joined. The Redcaps lineup released two singles: "Lover" b/w "Conquest" (with De Wolf on vocals on the A-side) on the Reb label, and on Seneca (S 178-102, USA), 'An Angel Is Missing' with 'What'd I Say' on the B side (both songs featuring Padavona on vocals).
In 1961 they changed their name to Ronnie Dio and The Prophets. The Prophets lineup lasted for quite a long time and produced several singles and one album. Some sources state that some of the single releases were made by Ronnie James Dio solo, but others, such as Dio himself, state that all of the singles were made as a band.
Ronnie Dio and the Prophets disbanded in 1967, but he and Prophets guitarist Nick Pantas started a new band called the Electric Elves. They shortened their name to Elf in 1969, and went on to become an opening act for Deep Purple. Dio's vocals caught the ear of Deep Purple guitarist Ritchie Blackmore, and when Blackmore left the band, he recruited Dio and other members of Elf to form Rainbow. Rainbow released its first album in 1975. Dio recorded three more albums with Rainbow, but he left the band due to creative differences: Blackmore had wanted to take the band in a more commercial direction.
Dio performed vocals on the 1974 UK single "Love is All" taken from Roger Glover's concept album The Butterfly Ball and the Grasshopper's Feast. Dio also provided vocals for the songs "Homeward" and "Sitting in a Dream" on the album which also featured Deep Purple alumni Glenn Hughes and David Coverdale.
Black Sabbath
Ronnie "throwing horns". He was widely credited as having popularized the symbol in heavy metal music.In 1979, after leaving Rainbow, Dio joined Black Sabbath, replacing Ozzy Osbourne. They released the successful Heaven and Hell album, which revitalized the band's career. It was during his time with Black Sabbath that he popularized the "devil's horns" gesture. Dio says that his grandmother used to make the hand gesture to ward off the evil eye, which is very common among superstitious Southern Italians. The "horns," or "Corna," themselves are used both to scare away and give someone the "Malocchio" (the Evil Eye). Ronnie James Dio is not the first to use the "horns sign". The band Coven used it on all their record albums and on stage as well going back to 1968. The Parliament-Funkadelic also used the "horns sign" regularly, as seen in many promo shots, album art work and concerts in the 1970s. In 1992, Dio briefly returned to Black Sabbath to record Dehumanizer. The album was a minor hit, reaching the Top 40 in the United Kingdom, and #44 on the Billboard 200.
Dio
Main article: Dio (band)
In 1980, Dio sang the tracks "To Live for the King" and "Mask of the Great Deceiver" on Kerry Livgren's solo album Seeds of Change. Dio, who was between stints as singer for Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow and Black Sabbath, later proved somewhat controversial among Livgren's Christian fans, as Black Sabbath and Dio were then perceived as "satanic" by many Christians. Dio said in an interview that he did not consider the album to be a "Christian" album and had performed on it as a favor to Livgren.
In 1982, the mixing of the live album Live Evil led to Dio and drummer Vinny Appice quitting the band to form the band Dio.
In 1997, Dio made a cameo on Pat Boone's In a Metal Mood: No More Mr. Nice Guy, an album of famous heavy metal songs played in big band style. Dio can be heard singing backup on Boone's take of the Dio song, "Holy Diver".
In 2000, Century Media released Holy Dio: Tribute to Ronnie James Dio, an album featuring a number of covers by mainly power metal bands.
Tenacious D has written a tribute song entitled "Dio" that appears on their self-titled album, Tenacious D, that calls for the singer to "pass the torch" on to them. Reportedly, Dio approved of it, and had Tenacious D appear in his video "Push". He also appeared in the film Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny, playing himself. However, on VH1, some have interpreted small clips of an interview with him as expressing resentment at the idea that he needs to "pass the torch" and seemed uncertain that Tenacious D is worthy of such an honor. When viewed in full, this interview is clearly done in good humor.[original research?]
In 2005, Dio was revealed to be the voice behind Dr. X in Operation: Mindcrime II, the sequel to Queensr˙che's seminal concept album Operation: Mindcrime. His part was shown in a prerecorded video on the subsequent tour, and Ronnie appeared onstage to sing the part live on at least one occasion (both shown on the Mindcrime at the Moore DVD).
During September 2005 Dio toured Siberia and Russia's far east, kicking off in Khabarovsk.[11]
In October 2006 it was confirmed that Dio would be joining Black Sabbath members Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and former Black Sabbath drummer Vinny Appice to tour under the moniker Heaven & Hell, which was the title of the first Dio era Black Sabbath album. They chose the name Heaven & Hell as Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler are still in the Black Sabbath band with Ozzy Osbourne and felt it was best to use a different moniker for the Dio version of the band. Original Black Sabbath drummer Bill Ward was to be involved in this project, but he later withdrew. In 2008 the band completed a 98-date world tour.
In 2006, Dio appeared in Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny playing himself. He plays a small role at the beginning of the movie, where Lil' JB, played by Troy Gentile, is angry because his father, played by Meat Loaf, won't let him play rock because he thinks it's the devil's music. Lil' JB then prays to a poster of Dio to help him out. Dio comes to life and urges him in song to "leave his oppressive neighborhood" and head to Hollywood.
On January 17, 2007, he was inducted into the Rock Walk of Fame at Guitar Center on Hollywood's Sunset Boulevard.
Personal life
Dio married his first wife, Loretta Berardi (born 1941), sometime in the 1960s. They adopted one son, Dan Padavona (born July 1968), who works as a meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Binghamton, New York.[12]
After divorcing Berardi, he married Wendy Galaxiola (born 1947), who also served as his manager. In the 1980s she managed the Los Angeles rock bands Rough Cutt and Hellion. She is the chair of the privately sponsored organization, Children of the Night, dedicated to rescuing America's children from prostitution. Dio remained married to Galaxiola until his death.
Cancer and death
On November 25, 2009, Wendy announced that Dio was diagnosed with stomach cancer:[13]
"Ronnie has been diagnosed with the early stages of stomach cancer. We are starting treatment immediately at the Mayo Clinic. After he kills this dragon, Ronnie will be back on stage, where he belongs, doing what he loves best, performing for his fans. Long live rock and roll, long live Ronnie James Dio. Thanks to all the friends and fans from all over the world that have sent well wishes. This has really helped to keep his spirit up."
On March 14, 2010, Wendy posted an online update on his condition:
"It has been Ronnie's 7th chemo, another cat scan and another endoscopy, and the results are good – the main tumour has shrunk considerably, and our visits to Houston (cancer clinic in Texas) are now every three weeks instead of every two weeks."
On May 4, Heaven and Hell announced they were cancelling all summer dates as a result of Dio's ill health.[14]
Dio died at 7:45 am (CDT) on May 16, 2010, according to official sources.[15][16][17]
Wendy said on Dio's official site:[18][19]
"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."

i tell ya what guy seemed loyal to his musical friends,vinny appice always worked with him,bain,and to an extent vivian campbell was like a rhodes/ozzy type with ronnie young guitarist to mold,obviously rhodes was better player than vivian but there was a degree of similarity in relastionship,i'm suprised vivian went from heavy leads and sound,to the lighter rock of def leppard,but the money was probably better with leppard.

Good friend of mine knew Ronnie and he said this exact same thing when he heard Ronnie passed away.
Virtually every hard rock or metal band around was influenced in some way by Ronnie. Blabbermouth has had condolences being sent in continuously for the last couple of days from bands and musicians around the world. Some great Ronnie stories being told everywhere on the net.
