Ronnie James Dio is ready to slay Cancer’s ass…

Metal icon Ronnie James Dio has been diagnosed with the early stages of stomach cancer. Less than two weeks ago, Dio cancelled the European leg of the Heaven and Hell Tour and was admitted to a hospital for an undisclosed illness. Dio’s wife Wendy said that the 67 year old vocalist’s medical treatment will start immediately at the Mayo Clinic. Another source close to Dio, That Metal Show host Eddie Trunk, said that following his recent diagnosis, Dio confessed to him on the phone that his days of having “a few drinks” are most likely “behind him”.

Here’s wishing The Rainbow in the Dark (not to be confused with “The Motherfucking Rainbow”, Steven Tyler), Ronnie James Dio a speedy metal recovery.
