That's a very unfair statement for Dio. The irony of this is that unlike the many of his rock-n-roll brethren, Ronnie lived a very healthy lifestyle. He took care of himself, and that's part of the reason why he was such an amazing voice and kept such an intense working schedule so late into his career. He wasn't a party animal, he was foremost an accomplished musician and wholesome family man.

I knew something serious was up since he announced his cancer last year. Had a bad feeling about it I guess.

But with the sheer amount of awesome music he's produced, he's sure to rock on into infinity
