WILDESTARR vocalist London Wilde comments on the passing of legendary singer RONNIE JAMES DIO (DIO, BLACK SABBATH, HEAVEN & HELL, RAINBOW, ELF) who lost his battle with stomach cancer on Sunday, May 16th at 7:45 AM PST at the age of 67:
"People all over the world have mourned in unison with the passing of Ronnie James Dio. For me as both a fan and a vocalist who owes my entire path in life to the influence of Dio's incredible one of a kind voice, It feels like a part of me has died as well. Like everyone else, I just wanted...well, MORE. More concerts to look forward to. More music, and as Ronnie himself said in his press release two weeks before his passing "more magic". As I reflect on this, I realize how fortunate we ALL are, that Dio graced us with his presence. The prolific artist he was, left us with a staggering amount of incredible music spanning over decades. His influence is felt in generations of musicians and vocalists, that have shaped the metal landscape forever. The legacy he left us will live on. On and on and on. Thank you Ronnie, for the music, the magic, and the inspiration you have given us all."
