Ronnie James Dio is NOT dead. It was a bogus report.

This was just posted on Ronnie James Dio's Official Fan Page:

"Today my heart is broken, Ronnie passed away at 7:45am 16th May.
Many, many friends and family were able to say their private good-byes
before he peacefully passed away. Ronnie knew how much he
was loved by all. We so appreciate the love and support that you have
all given us. Please give us a few days of privacy to deal with this
terrible loss. Please know he loved you all and his music will live on forever. Wendy"

\m/ R.I.P. Ronnie James Dio \m/
