R.I.P. Ronnie James Dio, 1942-2010

I'm currently camping in the Rockies, but on a brief foray down to buy supplies, I find that one of the monsters of hard rock, Ronnie James Dio, has died at the age of 67.

A superstar, regarded by many as the finest voice of heavy metal, Dio replaced Ozzy Osbourne as the singer in Black Sabbath, prior to which he sang for Richie Blackmore's Rainbow. His later career included Heaven & Hell, and the self-titled Dio.

The singer revealed last year that he was suffering from stomach cancer, shortly after finishing a US tour with his band.

Dio's wife, Wendy, said that her husband died on the morning of Sunday, May 16, adding her heartfelt comment that "Today my heart is broken."

Black Sabbath's ninth album, Heaven & Hell, which was released in 1980, is considered by many fans to be the finest heavy metal album ever recorded.
