Apparently it's a hoax.

it was a hoax last night that he was dead but then it was proven he was in bad condition. is it still a hoax? i am going to be let down

also this should probably say rot in heaven or hell FUCKING SONG REFERENCE OF A LIFE TIME THERE, COME ON!!!!

It's was a hoax but now it's not a hoax. He died this morning.

I really liked his incarnation of rainbow and sabbath. i'll pour out a 40 for him

if it says he's dead on tmz, then it's true.

In Hell.

When they told me he had died I said "fuck him" and got told off for such lack of respect. I feel bad now

Why would you say "Fuck Him"?

Why not

:( Holy Diver, Where You At?

Worst news to wake up to.

That was sudden. He was alive, and now he's gone. Like a rainbow in the dark.

Nice pun and all, but the dude was diagnosed with stomach cancer six months ago. It's hardly sudden.

This was horribly sudden

i always liked Dio.. he will be missed :(

did anyone see him on the 'Pick of Destiny'? not too shabby..
