I hope it does go away. I have really enjoyed Heaven and Hell and
like to see them go on.
RONNIE JAMES DIO Diagnosed With Stomach Cancer - Nov. 25, 2009
Wendy Dio, the wife and manager of legendary heavy metal vocalist
Ronnie James Dio (DIO, HEAVEN & HELL, BLACK SABBATH, RAINBOW), has
released the following statement to BLABBERMOUTH.NET:
"Ronnie has been diagnosed with the early stages of stomach cancer. We
are starting treatment immediately at the Mayo Clinic. After he kills
this dragon, Ronnie will be back on stage, where he belongs, doing
what he loves best, performing for his fans.
"Long live rock and roll, long live Ronnie James Dio.
"Thanks to all the friends and fans from all over the world that have
sent well wishes. This has really helped to keep his spirit up."
Ronnie James Dio, 67, has performed with ELF, RAINBOW, BLACK SABBATH,
and his own band DIO. Other musical projects include the collective
fundraiser "Hear 'n Aid". He is widely hailed as one of the most
powerful singers in heavy metal, renowned for his consistently
powerful voice and for popularizing the "devil's horns" hand gesture
in metal culture. He is currently involved with HEAVEN & HELL, a
project which also includes former BLACK SABBATH bandmates Tony Iommi,
Geezer Butler and Vinny Appice. Their first studio album, "The Devil
You Know", was released on April 28, 2009.
DIO cancelled its European tour last week after Ronnie was taken ill.
The band's lineup for the trek was supposed to include WHITESNAKE/ex-
DIO axeman Doug Aldrich due to the fact that the group's regular
guitarist, Craig Goldy, had prior touring commitments with BUDGIE in
Australia.
DIO's last release was the "Holy Diver Live" CD, featuring a
performance of the classic "Holy Diver" album in its entirety, from
start to finish, recorded live for the very first time in 2005 in
front of a sold-out London crowd.

thankfully it was detected in its early stages. I'm not worried about
him continuing on the road--I just want him to get better.
