http://www.metalunderground.com/news/details.cfm?newsid=55908

Metalunderground.com can confirm from Blabbermouth.net that Ronnie James Dio is NOT DEAD. The news of Ronnie james Dio has just been debunked- supporting that the news originated as a viral hoax

BLABBERMOUTH.NET reached out to Ronnie's wife/manager Wendy Dio, who sent back the following message at approximately 11:35 p.m. PST on Saturday, May 15 / 2:35 a.m. EST on Sunday, May 16:

"I am at the hospital and Ronnie has NOT passed away!!!! He is not doing
good, but he is not dead.

"I will let you know if anything changes.

"Thank you for your concern."

Dio has been battling stomach cancer since late last year, a fight which prompted the cancellation of a recent Heaven and Earth tour. In the wake of that announcement, he issued the following statement

Of all the races of the universe the Squats have the longest memories and the shortest tempers. They are uncouth, unpredictably violent, and frequently drunk. Overall, I'm glad they're on our side!

Although I am more into speed and new age metal (not to mention I'm only 18 so I am little more than a kid) I love Dio, his voice is epic and his music is great.
He has a voice like steel and his passion for music will be missed.
