Legendary heavy metal vocalist RONNIE JAMES DIO (DIO, HEAVEN & HELL, ex-BLACK SABBATH, RAINBOW), who was diagnosed with the early stages of stomach cancer in late November – and is currently receiving treatment at the Mayo Clinic – has issued the following statement:
“I’d like to take the time to thank everyone for the most wonderful gift I have ever received – your good wishes, your prayers, your support, your tears and laughter, your anger, your rejoicing, and most of all the unwavering love you have bestowed upon me. I guess I’ve always felt that we were one person and that you’ve allowed me to be our spokesman, but until this time of my greatest peril, the truth was perhaps slightly hidden. It is hidden no more. Together we shall face the foe and live on to climb higher mountains and explore greater magic. Together we cannot fail.
Please accept my never-ending love and dedication to you all.
So it is written, and so it shall be.
Magic, from Ronnie James Dio.”
