*Ronnie James DIO verstorben!

[Aamon]

Dio - eine sehr, sehr traurige Nachricht... normalerweise trifft es mich nicht so sehr, wenn leute sterben, die ich nicht kannte... Dieser Tod aber schon. Seine Musik und seine Stimme haben mich wohl zu sehr geprägt. Die paar Momente, in denen ich mit ihm sprechen durfte, haben einen sehr liebenswürdigen Menschen gezeigt, sofern so ein Urteil überhaupt möglich ist.

Yesterday 16th May my dear, dear friend Ronnie James Dio passed away at 7.45am LA time. I’ve been in total shock I just can’t believe he’s gone. Ronnie was one of the nicest people you could ever meet, we had some fantastic times together. Ronnie loved what he did, making music and performing on stage. He loved his fans so much. He was a kind man and would put himself out to help others. I can honestly say it’s truly been an honor to play at his side for all these years, his music will live on forever. Our thoughts are with Wendy Dio who stood by Ronnie until the end, he loved her very much. The man with the magic voice is a star amongst stars, a true professional. I’ll miss you so much my dear friend. RIP - Tony

It is with huge sadness we hear that Ronnie has lost his battle against
stomach cancer, and our heartfelt condolences go out to his wife Wendy and
family at this terrible time. From his earlier years in Elf, Black Sabbath
and Dio, right through to his most recent days fronting Heaven and Hell,
Ronnie, time and again, proved his genius as a frontman, always giving his
all to his fans and his music. Ronnie was not only an incredibly gifted
singer but also a wonderfully warm, intelligent and generous person and
this shone through both on and off stage leaving a positive mark on
everyone he came into contact with. A longstanding friend of Maiden, we
played many shows together over the years and we will all miss him greatly.

The world has lost an irreplaceable talent and, first and foremost, one of
the finest human beings you could ever wish to meet.
Steve, Bruce, Adrian, Dave, Janick, Nicko and Rod
