Rest in Peace Dio.
I saw Dio in concert in Anchorage in about 1985 at the ripe of 15 with @deathcow and a couple others. The next day we wore our Dio shirts to school as badges of awesomeness.

moodoniaI'm very sad to hear about this. Dio was a fantastic vocalist and showman with a long and great career.
I thought I was going to get to see him in a couple of weeks when Heaven and Hell and Iron Maiden played near here.
Hope its okay commenting on your Blog Dag.
