RONNIE JAMES DIO HAS STOMACH CANCER

One last post before we send off for the holiday… our inboxes are blowing up with links to http://www.ronniejamesdio.com/, which is reporting that Ronnie James Dio has stomach cancer. From Wendy Dio:

Ronnie has been diagnosed with the early stages of stomach cancer. We are starting treatment immediately at the Mayo Clinic. After he kills this dragon, Ronnie will be back on stage, where he belongs, doing what he loves best, performing for his fans.

Thanks to all the friends and fans around the world that have sent well wishes. This has really helped to keep his spirit up.

The above note implies that because they caught the cancer relatively early, a full recovery is likely. Let’s hope. Ronnie’s a helluva guy and a helluva singer, and we wish him all the best in a speedy recovery.
