May 17, 2010, 14 years ago
SOLITUDE AETURNUS guitarist John Perez has issued the following statement regarding the passing of legendary heavy metal singer RONNIE JAMES DIO (DIO, BLACK SABBATH, HEAVEN & HELL, RAINBOW, ELF):
"Like most everyone I know, I am in a great state of sadness. Ronnie James Dio was the ultimate heavy metal figure. Why? Because he conducted himself the way every one of us should; treating fans and friends with respect above and beyond the call of the duty (b.t.c.o.d) and giving his best to us at all times.Oh, and lets not forget that he was the BEST! A true professional and a model human being. Make no mistake, the prime influence and building block in Solitude Aeturnus was/is and always will be Dio era Black Sabbath.
Thank you Ronnie and family for all that you’ve given to us. We are grateful and strive to live by your example."
