Was due to see him Sunday in Sheffield but whole tour seems to be cancelled. Must be serious as website rightly says, he doesn't cancel things lightly.

Get well soon Ronnie mate!

Ah I thought my mate was lying, was going to see him next Tuesday hope he gets well soon.

Yep, I had tickets to see him at the Forum. Let's hope he gets better soon.

Hope it's not serious. Was listening to "The Devil Cried" in the car the other day thinking wow, still a huuuuge voice for a little old bloke

In the words of the D:

Dio has rocked for a long, long time,
Now it's time for him to pass the torch.
He has songs of wildebeests and angels,
He has soared on the wings of a demon.

It's time to pass the torch,
You're too old to rock, no more rockin' for you.
We're takin' you to a home,
But we will sing a song about you.

And we will make sure that you're very well taken care of.
You'll tell us secrets that you've learned. Raow!
Your sauce will mix with ours,
And we'll make a good goulash baby.
Dio, time to go!
You must give your cape and scepter to me.
And a smaller one for KG.
Go! Go! Dio! Dio!

Get well soon. Best Black Sabbath singer. Ever.

Dio is and always will be a legend to me, ever since his Rainbow days. Definitely the best singer Rainbow ever had.
Hope this is not too serious and he gets well soon.

As a kid, i remember reading an interview with Joe Elliot of Def Leppard who said words to the effect of "This singing is hard, you have to train and practise and work hard at it. We are not all born with a voice like Dio you know"

Wise words indeed...
