RONNIE JAMES DIO Diagnosed With Stomach Cancer

[Ragehead91]

Wendy Dio, the wife and manager of legendary heavy metal vocalist Ronnie James Dio (HEAVEN & HELL, BLACK SABBATH, RAINBOW), has released the following statement to BLABBERMOUTH.NET:

"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.

"Long live rock and roll, long live Ronnie James Dio.

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

Get well soon, RJD.

Damn! Good thing it is in an early stage...

[Shurik]

It's indeed good that the doctors caught it at the early stage.

I wish him to get well soon and to continue rocking. He's a real legend.

[Burning Reflection]

Sad to read this, but all I can do is wish him the best! Long live RJD!

Damn! Good thing it is in an early stage...

That is the key to treating and elimating many types of cancer. He seems to be very strong for his age (67, I believe), so he most likely has an excellent chance for recovery.

It also reads so in the news. "After he's killed this dragon", not "if he kills" or anything. According to that quote, it's like 100% that he WILL be alright... I sure hope so.

Then again, those quotes seem messed up pretty good. I don't know about the usage of the latter quotation mark if the paragraph changes, in English language. In Finnish, we wouldn't use it, so it might be alright. Though, does the doctor really suddenly go, "Long Live Rock 'n' Roll! Long live Dio!"?
<EDIT> Aw, stupid me. It was from Dio's wife, not from a doctor. It should be alright now. And, what's important, RJ should be alright! o/

These days cancer is very curable especially if caught early. He may not even have to undergo Chemo, which is sometimes as bad as the disease. He is healthy to begin with, so he should be able to beat this thing without much trouble.
Good luck to him!

that would be a cool docter, but its his wife as you noticed

"How will we treat the cancer of my husband?"
"We will have to get the magic sword Ireon from the Bladehenge which is guarded by evil dragons and the witch Succoria! We have to defeat her with the Golden Hammer to bring back peace to this world and to heal your husband! Brothers, unite if you're winning to fight this epic battle, kill the witch, slay the dragon with steel and fight for glory with power and go on an epic journey!"

That would be awesome...

[Babylonian]

Sad news. Hope he gets well soon.

[AAAAAAAAAA]

You can channel your rage into humor if you would like, but everyone can see right through it. I think you should take some time off, kid.

We can only hope so. He does seem very strong for a man of his age so we can be optimistic.

Hang in there, RJD.

[AAAAAAAAAA]

Hang in there, RJD.

Err....I'm getting confused again. Are we talking about Ronnie James Dio, or Rashtriya Janata Dal?.

Sorry guys

[NeonVomit]

AAAAAAAAA, this is no joke

[Rebel]

AAAAAAAAA, this is no joke

there's a bit of humor in everything, if you can't find it, you lose your sanity.

[Polaris]

Sad news, hope he'll recover very soon

[Mormegil]

If it's on an early stage, the I wouldn't be too worried.
I'm still looking forward to hear Magica part II & III.

[AAAAAAAAAA]

AAAAAAAAA, this is no joke

I have yet to discover what's so funny about dying of stomach cancer but when I do- you'll be the first to know. :puke:

[Fuuso]

Damn
But I'm glad they discovered it in an early stage, and Dio has always been in good shape. He'll kill this dragon with his awesomeness.
