Black Sabbath, Elf, Rainbow and Dio singer Ronnie James Dio has died after losing his battle with stomach cancer.
The 67-year-old singer, who passed away early yesterday morning (May 16), was diagnosed last November and seemed to be making good progress earlier this year.
The singer, who replaced Ozzy Osbourne in Black Sabbath in 1979, fronted Heaven & Hell and Dio before his death.
And, for those of you unaware, Ronnie invented the heavy metal devil horns, after replacing Ozzy in Black Sabbath. Ozzy used to use peace signs when working the crowd, and when Ronnie took over, chose to replace the signs with the evil-eye/devil horn symbol.
A man with a truly incredible voice, sorry to see him go.
Rock on Ronnie, rock on...
