well.....after a night of is he/isnt he...seems he isnt.

Dio has had stomach cancer for 6 months and is in hospital, but apparently doing well (statement released by wendy, his wife)

Wonder who thinks it's funny to start publishing stories about celebrities because they are ill? Cant imagine the grief that must put on them, their friends and family.

It was reported on some Heavy Rock and Metal supporters websites that Dio, who has been receiving treatment for stomach cancer, had died. It proved to be incorrect.

great vocalist...he joined Black Sabbath when they sacked Ossie for being a druggy and piss head.

History tells us that Ossie got his act together soon after

I met him after the Last In Line gig at Manchester Appollo, must have been '84/85.

Great gig & he was very patient & friendly to all his fans.

RIP fella.
