R.i.p Ronnie James Dio

I can't believe this happened to him. It seemed he was going to recover from his cancer but that isn't so. He was the one who made the devil's horn signs popular in rock/metal music and he will be missed by millions of fans worldwide. His music will live on forever!

You sure?

I heard it wasn't real.

My opinions are so useless, I don't even listen to them.

I've been able to go on it's official website earlier today, but now all you will get if you try to go on his website is a white page with "Service Unavailable" on it...

But it was written that he passed away at 7:45 this morning. But then again... there is still some people saying that he his alive...

This is what is written on his official website...

Message from Wendy Dio
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.

Never a big fan, but he has contributed a great amount to the music community. He influenced a great number of bands and was a true pioneer of metal. Rest in peace, man.

So is it true or not? My dad and I are both looking it up on different computers. Basically, him and I are heartbroken. If he's dead, somebody let me know. Please. PM me or something as I have to leave the house right away. Let me know the verdict because some sources say it's false, others say otherwise.

Yeah, whatever.

There was a rumour about his death posted last night but was confirmed otherwise by his wife. The day after, he dies.

Shame. But it just goes to show that the Golden Generation of Rock is going out.

Goodbye Dio.

What a shame, Mister Jensen.
