I just recently picked up those albums as well. AMAZING. I knew they'd be good but not THAT good!

Damn, that's a real shame. Not a massive fan of his work, but I can appreciate what he's achieved.

This is truly a shame. He lived the life of 10 men. RIP Dio.

I am so deeply saddened. All I can say is Le Roi Est Mort, Vive Rock n Roll

In English - The King is Dead, Long Live Rock n Roll (small tribute to Rainbow song).

Damn, I feel like swearing like crazy, I am heartbroken, not just for band and family, but for all us fans!

I'm going to spin Rainbow's "On Stage" album tomorrow in tribute. Many a fun time was had playing that album when I was in college.

RIP Ronnie.

I'm glad I got to seem him for the first time 2 years ago at the Master Of Metal concert. Funny how a few years ago I would have said nah I'll pass on going to a concert nowadays I end up going with my friend. So far I've been able to see Peter Steele and Dio for the first and last time. What a shame.

Wish I would have picked up that Tournado boxset he just released a few months back.

Im not a huge DIO fan but this is truly a sad sad day. DIO was an icon in the metal world and will never be forgotten. Thoughts and prayers to not only DIO and his family but to everyone who has lost someone to cancer or has lost someone special in general.. Dio

I was shocked when I read that terrible headline.

I knew he had cancer, but it was still a shocker.

I am beyond crushed...the best Vocalist of all time and one of my top heroes is gone. R.I.P. RJD

In my opinion he was the greatest most powerful Metal singer I have ever heard. His music was his life and he was so passionate about it. I'm so glad I saw him live I wished I would have been given the chance to meet him. Hes was my fav Metal singer No one sang Like Ronnie.

Im very upset.

Horrible news. Been listening to him for 30 years now and it's like a piece of my life is gone.

Spur of the moment haiku:

Dio is no more?
This can't be true, he was God!
A sad day indeed

Farewell, Dio, rock in paradise.
