Just found this news on a Polish news website. And here's the note from his official website:

That's sad news. I hope that he has a quick and full recovery. Ironically, with my listening to my albums alphabetically I am just about to start a Dio marathon.  -------------

I hope everything will end up well - since it's an early stage of disease development. Keeping my fingers crossed for one of my favourite hard rock singers! ------------- |

I'd be more saddened if he weren't already immortal.

Such a shame, his Sheffield gig was cancelled and I was wondering why - I lost the chance to see the master I hope he returns in good form |

Ronnie James Dio WILL have a quick, full and powerful recovery! HE IS IMMORTAL!!! I mean, come on, he survived to Ritchie Blackmore, the "Live Evil" sound ingeneer infamy and the '92 Black Sabbath/Ozzy scandal: what can bring him down? |

The recovery is hoped for. He always invites the listener to the crucible of the excitement. |

Hope he makes a full and speedy recovery.
( I think this sits well in the News section, given his involvement in bands listed on our site)

Very sad news. Was supposed to see him live in December. The fact that it was discovered in an early stage makes it hopeful though - and I'll be waiting on the other side of the recovery for another chance to see the Grandpa of Metal in full glory.

I'd like to join in with everybody who has posted here so far.
Hopefully, as this has been diagnosed early he will make a full and speedy recovery.

Get well soon Mr Dio. You are a rock legend. I've been feasting on early Rainbow this year, and Dio Sabbath. Great singer.
I'll not forget him playing at Donnington in '87. Dio stole the show that day imo. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

Sad news indeed, but glad they caught it at the early stages, so there's still hope. Probably my favorite hard rock vocalist. Hope he makes a full recovery and can grace us with more of his music. ------------- I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you? |
