GODDAMNIT! I went to sleep last night with the rumors of his death claiming to be false. Then I wake up today to find out that they were true after all. 
I can't believe it. We've lost a true legend today.

Dear Ronnie,
I just got off stage in Zagreb. I was met with the news that you've passed on. I'm kind of in shock, but I wanted you to know that you were one of the main reasons I made it onto that stage to begin with. When I first saw you in Elf, opening for Deep Purple in 1975, I was completely blown away by the power in your voice, your presence on stage, your confidence, and the ease with which you seemed to connect to 6000 Danish people and one starry-eyed 11 year old, most of whom were not familiar with Elf's music. The following year, I was so psyched when I heard the results of you joining forces with my favorite guitar player. You guys sounded so right for each other and I instantly became Rainbow's #1 fan in Denmark. In the fall of 1976, when you played your first show in Copenhagen, I was literally in the front row and the couple of times we made eye contact you made me feel like the most important person in the world. The news that you guys were staying in town on your day off somehow embedded itself in my brain and I made the pilgrimage to the Plaza Hotel to see if I could somehow grab a picture, an autograph, a moment, anything. A few hours later you came out and were so kind and caring... pictures, autographs and a couple minutes of casual banter. I was on top of the world, inspired and ready for anything. Rainbow came to Copenhagen a couple more times over the next few years and each time you guys blew my mind, and for a good three years were my absolute favorite band on this planet. Over the years I've been fortunate enough to run into you a half dozen times or so and each time you were as kind, caring and gracious as you were in 1976 outside the hotel. When we finally got a chance to play together in Austria in 2007, even though I may not have let on, I was literally transformed back to that little snot nosed kid who you met and inspired 31 years earlier and it was such a ****ing honor and a dream come true to share a stage with you and the rest of the legends in Heaven and Hell. A couple of weeks ago when I heard that you were not going to be able to make it to the Sonisphere shows that we would be sharing this June, I wanted to call you and let you know that I was thinking of you and wish you well, but I kind of pussied out, thinking the last thing you needed in your recovery was feeling obligated to take a phone call from a Danish drummer/fan boy. I wish I'd made that call. We will miss you immensely on the dates, and we will be thinking of you with great admiration and affection during that run. It seemed so right to have you out on tour with the so-called “Big Four” since you obviously were one of the main reasons that the four bands even exist. Your ears will definitely be burning during those two weeks because all of us will be talking, reminiscing and sharing stories about how knowing you has made our lives that much better.
Ronnie, your voice impacted and empowered me, your music inspired and influenced me, and your kindness touched and moved me. Thank you.
Much love,
Lars

Such a shock, I had no idea that he was battling stomach cancer. Terrible news to wake up to in the morning.
One of the greatest metal singers of all time and an icon of metal, you will never be forgotten, Ronnie.

Sad Day.
One of the greats and Last in Line is one of my all time favorite albums.

Jack Black knew who to turn for advice when his old man Meatloaf gave him the belt.
Great song from a great soundtrack.

When I read this in the morning news I almost immediately thought of "Fitzroy James Dio".
For anybody who has been part of Bigfooty for around 10 years, that name will have a number of heads being shaken at the memory of one of the greatest trolls to ever grace these boards.

Memories when I was a young lad listening to Heaven And Hell on the tape ghetto blaster in 1980 in Summer.

One of the great voices in music IMO, not just metal. Still had it right to end too, as last year's Heaven & Hell album The Devil You Know proved.
I'll probably be in the extreme minority, but I much prefer his work with Sabbath to anything the original Ozzy-led lineup produced.
