Auch namhafte Künstler melden sich schon zu Dios Tod zu Wort (wer weitere Statements findet, bitte posten!):


"I just heard that Ronnie James Dio died today. This news is very sad. He was the greatest Rock Singer Of All Time. I’ve said it on record many many times. He will be greatly missed by all of Rockdom.

In 2004, I got to meet Dio and he was so gracious and down-to-earth, then he got up on stage and schooled everyone.

We all have the records – Heaven & Hell, Mob Rules, Holy Diver, Last In Line, Dream Evil, Rainbow Rising, Long Live Rock’N`Roll. I can’t listen to them today because it’s too hard, but tomorrow I will crank these up.

R.I.P. Ronnie James Dio" (DANKO JONES)
