I wasn't sure whether to post this news here since it's not about a radio single and Dio hasn't had anything to do with active or alternative radio for years.
But still, sad sad news. And just after Peter Steele too. I hope this isn't a case of threes.

I only knew "Holy Diver" (and in the past 3 years, much, much more so the KsE cover) and "Rainbow in the Dark." That and how much Jack Black loved him, as evident on the first D album and in the D movie. I knew Dio had reunited with his incarnation of Black Sabbath and were now under the banner Heaven & Hell (after their classic Sabbath album), to avoid confusion with the now-classic Ozzy lineup.
So that's to say, I'm more familiar with him and more bummed about this than a lot of you, anyway, but I'd be willing to bet someone among us is more familiar with and appreciative of the body of work he leaves behind.
