Crivens. Wondered if he'd taken a turn for the worse when Heaven and Hell cancelled all their summer dates, obviously did, poor chap.

[Ian Price]

Very very sad news indeed.

[Johnny Mac]

Sad news. I love the Sabbath Heaven and Hell album they made 30 odd years ago.

RIP

[Philly Q]

Oh $%&#.  I just had to sit down, I wasn't expecting that.  One of my very first musical heroes.

RIP.  And RIB, I guess.

[Davey]

i just found out .. i knew he's in for a tough ride, when he had to go to the hospital a while ago.. but i seriously hoped he'd pull through.. one of the biggest men in music has left today, even if he was 2ft 4.
RIP Dio!

[Muttley]

A true legend.  :(

Sad news indeed. One of the all-time greats, and his music has given me a great amount of pleasure over the years. I think I'll grab a beer tonight and put on the first Rainbow LP.
