MTV: Ronnie James Dio


I wrote the obituaries for June Carter Cash and Dimebag Darrell Abbott and writing the obituary for Ronnie James Dio, one of the greatest voices in rock music, wasn't any easier.

You can read my MTV News story RIGHT HERE. In followup pieces, I've gotten reactions from members of Slipknot, Slayer, Anthrax, As I Lay Dying and Fireball Ministry which you can read RIGHT HERE as well as statements from Rob Zombie and members of Killswitch Engage, Mastodon and Fear Factory, which you can read RIGHT HERE.

The first concert I ever attended without a parent was DIO & Megadeth at Market Square Arena in Indianapolis, Indiana in February, 1988. This is a truly sad time for metal fans worldwide. God bless you, Ronnie.
