Life is part of death. Yesterday the hard rock / metal universe lost one of the greatest singers of all time; and probably the nicest to boot. Yesterday morning Ronnie James Dio lost his battle with cancer. It was a short battle, but one that Ronnie handled the same way he handled everything else in life; with faith and positivity. For those of you unaware of R.J.D he was best known for replacing Ozzy in Black Sabbath, but his accomplishments musically go beyond the dial; "This one goes to 11" (Spinal Tap reference) .
He was a consummate gentleman at all times, and a true icon. There is nothing negative to say about the man. It is a sad day; and as Forrest Gump would say; “.. that’s all I have to say about that…”
