Post by: blue on November 27, 2009, 12:32:21 AM

just saw on BBC ceefax that Ronnie James Dio has been diagnosed with early stage stomach cancer.  apparently he was taken ill last week and had to cancel his upcoming european tour.

i wish him well, and hope he makes a speedy and full recovery

At least they've caught it early, apparently.  He's been looking quite frail in recent years, I hope he gets through the treatment OK.
