Heavy metal legend Ronnie James Dio died early Sunday after a battle with stomach cancer. He was 67.[/glow]

Dio's wife, Wendy, broke the news today on Ronnie's official website.

 

"Today my heart is broken, Ronnie passed away at 7:45am 16th May," she wrote. "Many, many friends and family were able to say their private good-byes before he peacefully passed away. Ronnie knew how much he was loved by all. We so appreciate the love and support that you have all given us. Please give us a few days of privacy to deal with this terrible loss. Please know he loved you all and his music will live on forever."

 

Dio's cancer was first announced last November. He was expected to take part in this summer's Heaven & Hell tour, which was subsequently canceled in May due to his health.

After stints with bands like Elf (formerly the Electric Elves), Dio was recruited by Deep Purple guitarist Ritchie Blackmore to form Rainbow in 1975. Dio left the band in 1979 and quickly joined Black Sabbath as a replacement for Ozzy Ozbourne. Dio's first album with Black Sabbath was the iconic 'Heaven & Hell,' released in 1980.

Dio, who is often credited for creating the devil horns hand gesture, recorded two additional albums with Black Sabbath -- 'Mob Rules' and 'Live Evil' -- before leaving in 1982 over reported sound mixing issues on 'Live Evil.' He went on to lead his next band, Dio, shortly thereafter, where he was joined by Black Sabbath drummer Vinny Appice.

Dio would later reunite with Black Sabbath on 1992's 'Dehumanizer.'

Dio released 10 albums under his namesake band, including 'Holy Diver,' and remained with the band throughout, despite numerous departures and changes.

In 2006, he formed the band Heaven & Hell with Appice and Black Sabbath's Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler. Together, they released one studio album -- 2009's 'The Devil You Know -- as well as a live CD.

At a Los Angeles event in April, Dio gave Artisan News an update on his battle with cancer, saying, "If you're determined to beat it, then you have to go with what you believe is going to beat it for you."

Born Ronald James Padavona in Portsmouth, New Hampshrie, Dio released his first record in 1958 with Ronnie & the Redcaps. He was married twice -- first, to Loretta Berardi, with whom he adopted a son, Dan.

Dio's stage name was reportedly inspired by New York mafia member Johnny Dio. (Credits - spinner.com)

      For exact same reason - there were accusation that I scammed. When was it? 2016? But in that time, admins actually didn't listen. I got banned, then unbaned (when I prooved I've refunded) but I was trash talking to mods. When few months later same shit happened, Grisom (?) old global mod, banned me anyway. You can read somewhere on forum how I was shitting on him for doing that (from other account because original account was banned) - which was banned too. He is not here anymore I think. Back in the days I was well know for not carring that much if I was talking to mod or admin, I didn't hold my tongue. Now You know. Just like You know - if I delay, I deliver or refund. I'm not a scammer, even if my old time haterz love to repeat themselfs like mantra. I don't care.

      Okay I respect that but why is your other account banned?   I don't think this happened just because you delayed somebodys work even in 2012

      Do You understand the fact, I won't scam anyone? Can You grasp such idea?  Second of all, if a random restaurant on Google Maps has 599 positive reviews and few negative ones with 4,8* score, do You ask Google to block it's profile and burn the place down? No? Then why the fuck You are crying about my random delays? If someone can't get a CUSTOM DESIGN on time, I refund. I'm not 16  y.o. anymore. I don't make living out of this L2 bullshit. Never did. Since 2012 I've made shit tons of projects. How many delays did I have? 12? 15? Out of hundrets of projects. Calm Your tits please. If I would actually take 4k euro and NOT deliver and NOT refund - admins can ban me. So don't compare me to Simple. And just so You know, Celestine sent me customers, so it's not like I've worked with him on his account all the time. That's another thing You won't understand. I won't waste anymore time on You and any other cunt who never was my customer but is bitching just because he has nothing better to do in his life. You don't like my work? Hove along, I don't give a shit.

      So he's like unsimple you would say? Cherry picking who's getting scammed.   Deliver 5 projects, don't deliver/delay the other 2 projects. Of course he won't scam you because he know what's gonna happen after since he's dealing with the admin himself.
