Oh cruel world...
Den lilla mannnen med den stora rösten, han som gett oss "corna" och Holy Diver, the Man, the Myth, the Legend, Ronnie James Dio, har fått magcancer.
Ronnie och hans band Dio skulle ha spelat i Sverige i december men nu är Europaturen inställd.
Dios manager/fru gav detta uttalande:
"Ronnie has been diagnosed with the early stages of stomach cancer. We are starting treatment immediately at the Mayo Clinic. After he kills this dragon, Ronnie will be back on stage, where he belongs, doing what he loves best, performing for his fans. Long live rock and roll, long live Ronnie James Dio. Thanks to all the friends and fans from all over the world that have sent well wishes. This has really helped to keep his spirit up."

Ja, jävlar vilka specialeffekter man kunde göra på 80-talet... Det är Dio men trodde själv att det var Willow ett tag...
