Laut dem englischen Metal Hammer verstarb heute Ronnie James Dio im Alter von 67 Jahren. Seit November 2009 kämpfte der großartige Sänger und Songwriter gegen den Magenkrebs und verlor diesen Kampf heute morgen gegen 7.45 Uhr. Seine Frau und Managerin Wendy:
„Today my heart is broken, Ronnie passed away at 7:45 a.m. [on Sunday] 16th May. Many, many friends and family were able to say their private goodbyes 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.”
Unser Mitgefühl gehört den Angehörigen und Freunden von Ronnie James Dio.
