Long-time, metal vocalist Dio has recently died. This may be old news to some since he supposedly died 4 days ago, but I just found out today. He is one of my favorite metal vocalists.
Rest in peace, Dio. May you rock on forever. :\'(
I figure I should post something by Dio for those unfamiliar with him, but fans will enjoy this, too.

Dio was lead vocalist for Rainbow, Black Sabbath, Dio, and Heaven & Hell. He was also in Elf as well as other, lesser-known bands.
A great interview with Dio:

By the way, I completely agree with his opinions about modern music. 8)

Apparently, he was going to make 2 more Magica albums with his own band, Dio, as well as another Heaven & Hell album.
I was listening to my Long Live Rock \'n\' Roll album (by Rainbow), and I thought I\'d post a link to a song from it.
If you\'ve never heard "Rainbow Eyes," check it out. It\'s one of Dio\'s best vocal performances. (It\'s a softer song.)

He\'s a Master of the Moon, he\'s the Man on the Silver Mountian, Driving the Strange Highways, He can see see the Rainbow in the Dark.
