In an update, "According to Ronnie James Dio’s wife and manager, Wendy, the singer has been hospitalized. She did not go into details. However, the dates are not being rescheduled, and ticket holders should return to the point of purchase and get refunds."

Wow!

I pray he's not going out like james Brown...

[NATEDOG001976]

Maybe Vivian Campbell beat him up after all the shit he talked about him....lol.

[twonabomber]

maybe he's getting that surgery where they lengthen the legs, to make him taller.

Wishing Ronnie a speedy recovery...

It's a little late for that, ain't it? The guy's pushing 70, his bones are probably too brittle for that.

[twonabomber]

maybe he takes Boniva on Sally Field's recommendation.

You know, it's headlines like these that you always dread seeing, but you know you're going to see someday. With him pushing 70 now, you can't help but to think it's something serious.

The guy's a trooper, though, so here's to hoping he has a speedy recovery. Got far too much Heaven & Hell left in him for it to be TOO bad...right? I need another few REAL Black Sabbath albums and those ain't happening with Ozzy...

Well, at his age, this can't be good... either he turns out to be an immortal like Keef, or it may very well be the end for one of the gratest singers in history.

I'm thinking the first.

Cheers! :bottle:

My youngest sister has been a major fan of his for decades. She is going to be crushed when he finally kicks it.

I hope he gets better soon. We do not have enough great metal vocalists around.

These days, we have mostly no-talent shouters instead.

[Nickdfresh]

Jeez, I never realized he was that old...

[binnie]

Really hope he gets well soon.....

[sadaist]

Jeez, I never realized he was that old...

I know. Kinda shocked me too. But then, I hardly feel like I'm nearly 40. It doesn't really mean anything to me unless I concentrate and think of my dads 40th birthday bash. Damn, how old I thought he was when I was 6. I figured I wouldn't get there for a million years. Blink of an eye.

[Hardrock69]

He released his first album in 1958 I believe.

He has literally had the longest career of just about any rocker who has released an album.

Max and I were just talking about the tune he released in the 1950's which was doo wop style tune.

I just know that he was already old when I was still young.

Get well soon, pisan.
