Mike Honcho Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Dio told Classic Rock magazine in 2009 that an Elf reunion could happen sometime soon.I’ve been talking to my cousin ‘Rock’ [guitarist David 'Rock' Feinstein] about getting that band back together, and it’s certainly on the cards. But, as usual, it’s dependent on schedules coinciding. [...] I’d only want to do an Elf tour if we could come up with a new album. That would include reworkings of some of the older songs, which I don’t think we ever did justice in the studio, plus also a few new tracks.Shit sucks...

Val22 Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Today is a very sad day for all of us metal/hard rock fans. Dio was on of the forefathers of heavy metal. He had such a unique and powerful voice. It was such an inspiration just to listen to him and his music.His wife Wendy confirmed Dio's death at 7:45 a.m. this morning. She said many family members and friends were able to say their goodbyes. Dio died peacefully in his sleep. Metal will never be the same from his death.Dio was diagnoised with stomach cancer and was having chemo treatments. Sadly, he died anyway.I wonder why doctors insist on putting so many patients through horrible chemo treatments and then they die anyway. What is the point of it all? This news sucks big time.It was a very sad day when the Rev from A7X passed away and now Dio. I know there is no comparison, but both of these men meant a lot to me and I'm sure many many other fans.Dio was one of a kind and no matter if he was solo or the frontman to Black Sabbath or Heaven and Hell, the man was awesome and always put on the most amazing performances and wrote the most amazing songs!Dio is now my Rainbow in the Dark!Rest in peace! I do hope you are in a better place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is very very sad news. He was such a huge part of metal music and influenced so many. I am glad though that he was able to say his goodbyes to his friends and family before passing on. R.I.P. Ronnie, you may be gone but your music will be here for years to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
