Mostly known for replacing Ozzy Osbourne in Black Sabbath, Ronnie James Dio died yesterday morning after a battle with stomach cancer. Diagnosed last September, Dio had announced his wishes to return to the stage once he had beaten one of the deadliest types of cancer. Born in New Hampshire and later raised in Cortland, New York, Ronnie quickly showed a desire to play music. After playing in several small bands during high school and college, Dio joined Rainbow where he began to showcase his unique vocal talents that would be commonly associated with how Heavy Metal was sung. But it wasn't until he joined Sabbath in 1980 that he would achieve world wide acclaim.
