Anyone else find it strange that there was a false rumor about his death 1 day before he died?

Yea I'm sure whoever actually started it feels like a big prick now...

.. Actually probably not.

Probably someone at the Hospital leaked his really weak health status and said that they let him go to die on his bed.

Reminds me of how someone posted Chris Benoit's wife's death on Wikipedia a couple of hours before cops even found their bodies. Weird.

There's only one logical explanation for these things.

Dio

Dio has rocked for a long, long time,
Now it's time for him to pass the torch.
He has songs of wildebeasts and angels,
He has soared on the wings of a demon.

It's time to pass the torch,
You're too old to rock, no more rockin' for you.
We're takin' you to a home,
But we will sing a song about you.

And we will make sure that you're very well taken care of.
You'll tell us secrets that you've learned. Raow!
Your sauce will mix with ours,
And we'll make a good goulash baby.
Dio, time to go!
You must give your cape and scepter to me.
And a smaller one for KG.
Go! Go! Dio! Dio!

RIP

"In the heat and rain
With whips and chains
To see him fly
So many die
We built a tower of stone
With out flesh and bone
To see him fly
But why, it don't rain
With all our chains,
Did so many die
Just to see him fly
Look at my flesh and bone
Now look, look, look, look
Look at this tower of stone
I see a rainbow rising
Look there on the horizon
And I'm coming home
Coming home, I'm coming home"

RIP

HEAVEN (AP) - With the sad passing of Ronnie James Dio, rumors are already circulating throughout the psychic metal community of a new "metaphysical super-group" in the afterlife.

With John Bohnam on drums, Randy Rhodes and "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott on guitars, Cliff Burton on bass, and newly acquired front man, metal legend Ronnie James Dio, the new group - HEAVEN IN RUINS - will soon be unleashing musical chaos and mayhem to send angels and loved ones scurrying for cover.

Since the time-consuming slowness and heaviness of physical matter is no longer a factor, songwriting and recording will be instantaneous. In fact, their short-awaited debut album, "WHERE'S THE FIRE & BRIMSTONE?!", has just been released. Like, just a few minutes ago. Seriously.

A brief tour of the entire known universe will comme-- I mean, is already underway. Stops include Betelgeuse, the center of the Milky Way, the Horsehead Nebula, the Oort Cloud, and a couple of quasars.

Elvis Presley was unavailable for comment.

Damn. It's a shame because he was truly the voice of metal, and the stuff he did with Black Sabbath in the 80's, 90's, and today (H&H) eclipse most of what they did with Ozzy. Now, I'm really glad I caught Heaven & Hell last summer, just to hear that amazing ST song live at least once in my life--or one more, as I caught Dio opening for Maiden in 2003.

RIP Ronnie, you are truly missed.
