His wife,
Wendy, posted the sad news on his website: "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."

Born Ronald James Padavona, Dio performed with the bands Testament of Apollo, Elf and Rainbow before joining Black Sabbath in 1979 after
Ozzy Osbourne left. He was inducted into the Hollywood Rock Walk of Fame on January 17, 2007.
Μεγάλη μορφή του Ροκ και Μέταλ....μεγάλωσε γενιές και γενιές με τα τραγούδια....
Τον νίκησε όμως ο καρκίνος του στομάχου που είχε διαγνωσθεί απο τον Νοέμβριο του 2009
Καλό ταξίδι Ronnie....
