get better soon ronnie!!!!

Bummer.

He is a Dio!

WHERE IS OBAMACARE AT? HURRY UP

My dad and I both wish Dio a speedy recovery.

The "anonymous" person making light of this news to bash Obama is a sub-human piece of trash. BVG, please consider removing that offensive post. I would like to wish the legendary Ronnie James Dio a very speedy recovery from this terrifying illness.

get well soon DIO!

Dio will get past it, it's Dio damn it!

Here's hoping you can slay this dragon and continue to rock. Best wishes and get better soon.

best wishes and metal horns

Ahh, that sucks. RJD is the man. He will conquer this.

\m/ RAWK-ON-DIO \m/

Hang in there Holy Diver

Get well, Stargazer.

Looks like Dios Malos wins this round

Best wishes in beating this. Horrible news.

Long live rock and roll, long live Ronnie James Dio.

gotta get away, get AWAY

I hope he's not the last in line.

DIO SUCKS. HE SUCKS!!! TERRIBLE SINGER WITH NO STYLE. EWWWWWWWWWWWW.

Dio does suck. It's bad news, but seriously, Dio does suck ball juice.

Tenacious D "tribute" concert for Dio. I'd go see that.

hummus will cure all ills.

no style? wingwalker, you might not like it, but to say he's got no style is a fucking ignorant comment at best.

Praying for you Ronnie...Get well soon

lets hope ronnie beats this im sure he can. the metal scene can never be the same with such a sad loss, he is the voice of metal and has been for 30 years we cant afford to let him go, beat this for us ronnie

Get well Ronnie!

DIO RUINED METAL. HE IS THE WORST SINGER EVAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Get well soon hack.

I wonder if Mr Dio is still an athiest now that he's looking eternity square in the face? If I were RJD, I imagine my priorites would have changed very quickly in the last few weeks.

^^^ Thats an interesting point. And Dio does suck live. He can pull off an amateur vocal on tape, but is totally flat live.

Susan,
You are flat out wrong. I've seen Ronnie perform 3 times (once with Sabbath, twice solo) and he has an amazingly powerful voice. He is no amateur.

"I wonder if Mr Dio is still an athiest now that he's looking eternity square in the face? If I were RJD, I imagine my priorites would have changed very quickly in the last few weeks."

Bullshit comment. Really, praying to an entity that doesn't exist is going to help you exactly how? The only thing that is going to help you is the medicial profession and/or yourself. I had a similar experience to Mr. Dio's one time and was lucky enough to survive, and the idea of praying to some fairy tale "God" for help never crossed my mind once. We're all going to die, and "God" isn't going to ultimately save you from death. You're food for the worms, like all of us. Out of instinct you try to fight to stay alive and hope the often inept medical system can be of some help. At least Dio will have the money for the best care possible. I sincerely hope he makes it and I get to hear him sing again: he was great with Heaven & Hell at the WaMu. But "God" isn't going to have any say in what happens.

I bet he humps good.

saw dio at msg in august... a real gentleman and one hell of a singer... he'll look the devil in the face laughing and come back for an encore... rock on brother!!!

love ya dio...youre the best

WillyMcCabe : Proselytize somewhere else. Go fuck yourself.

Susan- Obviously you haven't spent any time seeing him live or were too busy texting to pay attention. His voice is always amazing live.

my balls smell like cheese

Dio's the Grand Wizard of classic rock. He'll kill that dragon with his magic!

Be strong and get well soon!

*devil horns*

You are going to kill the dragon. You are the greatest.Your vocals are your trademark! There is only one Ronnie James Dio.Your music will kill the beast. Our blessings and prayers are with you. Only the strong survive. I should be the one to suffer, not you. Your the legend and legends never die. Rock on and take care.

Ron,
I had NHL, I beat it, then it came back.. then I beat it again.... You will be fine. Go to Mayo and also Sloan in NY. Dont mess around.
I was at the Radio City show back in 2007 when I was fighting. It helped me though it. Thanks and be well

To the clowns who are saying that Dio is not a good singer. R u kidding me? What the hell planet r u from!! He is one of the greatest hard rock singers of all time! You can dislike the music or have a hard-on for Ozzy but please there is no denying his awesome vocal prowess!! ignorant fools

Seriously? I'm not a fan, but to actually be a douche and wish harm on someone. Karma is a BITCH!

i still cant believe this news, im not used to thinking of ronnie james dio as a mortal. he'll be in my thoughts and prayers always, theres only one Ronnie James Dio

you dio bashers are all losers, even if you dont like his music why would you bash him and wish him harm after finding out he has a very serious cancer, the funny thing is, i best most of you wishing him harm are christians

This is sad sad news, but if anyone can beat it, it's dio! get well soon!

I pray from to god to keep you In good health and...We love you and every single songs of you, you truly are a powerful singer with amazing voice, god bless you DIO.

Sorry for all the dumb comments here Dio you are truley the greates metal singer ever and we love you
Thanks!!! can't wait to see you live again
Sincerely
Pauly

It's easy to say god doesn't exist when your alive and feeling good.

Everyone believes when death is near. DIO has spent his entire life mocking the almighty now look.

Payback is a bitch.

I was lucky enough to meet him once at The Cajun House in Scottsdale, AZ. He is nothing short of a gentleman, a very sweet, sweet man. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers Ronnie, and I'm sorry you are sick right now. Get well soon!

Shodan, why was I prostylizing? I simply made a comment. Sounds like you have some serious anger issues to deal with. Or is your opinion the only one that counts?
