Ronnie James Dio (1942-2010)

Ronnie James Dio, the vocalist for Elf, Rainbow, Black Sabbath (replacing Ozzy Osbourne), Dio and Heaven and Hell, passed away on Sunday morning after battling stomach cancer. He was 67.

In a statement on Dio's website http://www.ronniejamesdio.com/  his wife Wendy said "my heart is broken".

"Many, many friends and family were able to say their private good-byes before he peacefully passed away," the statement said.

"Ronnie knew how much he was loved by all. We so appreciate the love and support that you have all given us."
- Wendy Dio

Dio started his career in the 60's, playing bass and trumpet for a local group called the Vegas Kings. The group later became known as the Electric Elves and, in the early 70's, Elf. The group released three albums, none of which charted, and were guests on two album by Roger Glover of Deep Purple. It was through Glover that they met Richie Blackmore, who used the musicians from the group to form Rainbow.
