Wendy Dio, wife/manager of legendary heavy metal singer Ronnie James Dio (DIO, HEAVEN & HELL, BLACK SABBATH, RAINBOW), has released the following statement to BLABBERMOUTH.NET:

"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."

R.I.P. Ronnie, thanks for everything.

**** my heart sank when I read the title.

Then I read Scutch's thread. It's all good... good to hear he hasn't given in yet.
dance along the fault line; feel the shaking in your bones,
lose the tension in my throat, and live for something.

Scutch's thread is about the rumour that flooded the internet last night. Sadly, Dio did passed away, it's been confirmed by his wife Wendy.

You can look it up on his official site: http://www.ronniejamesdio.com/

Yes, it has been confirmed. The twitter post made early this morning was done so right before his death.

R.I.P. Ronnie :( We'll miss you, bud.

A little ironic, but also suckish, that there were rumors about him dying last night, and then he died this morning.

Still, he will be missed. He is a metal god, and will continue to rock on in heaven.

R.I.P \m/

I'm sad.

Rest in Peace.
When the stars lose their fine
And night steals the morning away
Forever and a day
I will stay, I will stay here with you my love
