At 67 stomach cancer, against which took several months fighting has been one of the most important vocalists of the heavy metal.
born July 10, 1942 in the United States, and began to make known the late '60s the group Elf, so called because all its components were low enough. When Ritchie Blackmore left Deep Purple decided to form a band with Elf components (except the guitarist, who replaced Britain), baptizing the group as Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow, and finally called Rainbow to dry. In this partnership the best fruit that was left was no doubt a mythic theme in the history of rock: Long Live Rock and Roll .
After recording the album Long Live Rock and Roll, Dio left Rainbow to go to replace Ozzy Osbourne in Black Sabbath in 1980, giving much more vocal quality to the group-oriented heavy metal. They recorded three albums, and best left this stage theme was Heaven and Hell .
also left Black Sabbath, but this time decided not to join any band and formed his own in 1983, named Dio. Alone has recorded over a dozen albums and greatest hits album compiled in the Dio Diamonds , essential in the discography of any lover of the genre.
In 1992 he returned to Black Sabbath briefly to record the album Dehumanizer, but the meeting broke up quickly. Even was described by guitarist Tony Iommi as an error.
reconvened in 2006 to record additional tracks who edited and compilation Black Sabbath: The Dio Years , and ended up so excited to get back to work they decided to stay together as a band. Heaven and Hell They called in homage to the first album they recorded together, as legal problems with Ozzy Osbourne no could adopt the name of Black Sabbath. And between 2007 and 2008 made a world tour.
Upon completion, Dio made during the summer of 2008 touring with his solo band.
Back to work with Heaven and Hell, recorded during the remainder of 2008 the album The Devil You Know , which was published in 2009. At the album release was followed by a world tour that ended on Aug. 29 in Atlantic City, which was the last concert in which he acted.
But in November 2009 was diagnosed with stomach cancer, which quickly began to be treated at a hospital in Houston. His wife and manager Wendy has been commissioned to be publishing communiqués its status.
seemed that could be recovered since responded well to treatment, and therefore a European tour planned for summer 2010, but weeks before his death was canceled because his condition worsened.
Finally on May 16, Ronnie James Dio died. His memory will live forever through his music.
Personally I am very sorry about his death, since it is one of the vocalists that I really liked. It has also been a major setback to expect him to Getafe on 10 July at the festival Sonisphere, who recently canceled his tour with Heaven and Hell, and yesterday was given this news.
thing that infuriates me it gives me no closer to the stage when I saw him with his group in the Kobetasonik Bilbao in 2008. I never thought it would be the only time I would live ...
Rest in peace.
