A metal legend passed away today. I'm going to play "Holy Diver" in his honor.

Dio will be missed. Such an influence on Heavy Metal and such a legacy of music to his name. I hadn't realized until just today that he was almost 68 years old or that he'd been battling stomach cancer for some time. It's a shame that he died, but I'm glad he's at peace.

The originator of the Devil's Horn symbol you see at every rock and heavy metal show. Sad news.

I'd like to think he became the Man on the Silver Mountain.

Damn.

Dio's gone.

It's always a reality check when legends pass away. They seem so invincible and unstoppable. But he will live on in spirit, which is truly invincible.

Sad news. Told the guys I'd bring in Rainbow Rising so they could hear a small taste of what is passed, but not gone. Thankfully, his voice will live on through his recordings.
