Ah man. I havent taken a celebrity death this personal... well... ever. Dio's music was a pivotal part of my musical development. He will be missed greatly.
When I was a kid, my uncle introduced me to what he said was the greatest metal singer ever. Through the years, I've really come to appreciate how great he was. Although it's very sad to see him go, but he still lives on through the great songs he brought us. RIP
saw him live for the first and last time a couple years ago. the guy was still amazing live, hitting all the notes and sounding great, with lots of stage presence. a legend died today.
To say he was a legend is an understatement. Not only was he one of the greatest singers in rock/metal history, he was a class act all the way. All the best to his family.
