Long Live Dio!


I was pumped when I heard about the Heaven and Hell project, bringing back the Dio era Black Sabbath crew together again. It marked the 40th year of Black Sabbath, and 30th year with Dio.

This reunion all comes together with 2 serious bummers behind the scenes, as Ozzy sues Tony Iommi claiming he illegally took sole ownership of the band's name in a filing with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Then during the Heaven and Hell Tour, Dio had to stop the show and headed for the hospital!

Word hit the street Thanksgiving weekend from Dio's wife and manger Wendy Dio, that he was fighting stomach cancer. Since his initial visits to the hospital, Dio has had to endure chemo treatments and even a blood clot issue. Some of the tumors have been cleared out, with some still in process of being destroyed.

Fans from all over the world are in shock and awe over this revelation, but many feel strongly he will recover and return as the King of Metal!
