DIO is no more.

That is really sad news.

I first heard Dio singing Love Is All (At The Butterfly Ball) in the mid-70's, not long before he sang with Blackmore's Rainbow, and his performance on The Butterfly Ball was brilliant. The Rainbow stuff was great, and demonstrated his incredible range and ability. I wasn't so enamoured by his Sabbath stuff (although they were the only Sabbath albums I ever bought) although his solo efforts (of which I bought none) still showcased his enormous talent.

Above all, Ronnie was a very genuine and humble man. I'll miss him and his music.

RIP Ronnie James Dio. Hooked On Monkey Phonics just won't seem the same now that you're gone...
