Ronnie James Dio died on this day 13 years ago, aged 67. - Dio's actual last name was Padavona; he took his stage name from mobster Johnny Dio. - Dio formed his first band when he was 15, called The Vegas Kings. It soon changed its name to "Ronnie and the Rumblers", "Ronnie and the Redcaps", and "Ronnie Dio and the Prophets", before dropping Ronnie's name in 1967 to become "The Electric Elves", then "The Elves", and finally just "Elf" in 1972 (a total of six name changes over 15 years for those keeping count). - After Elf disbanded in 1975, Dio and three other band members joined Rainbow; he left in 1979 to replace Ozzy Osbourne as the lead singer of Black Sabbath. - Dio quit Black Sabbath in 1982 and formed a self-titled band, with his signature song being released the following year: - In 2006, Dio would reunite with his Black Sabbath bandmembers to form Heaven & Hell- Ozzy Osbourne had returned to Black Sabbath, and this was effectively the same 1979 lineup, just under a different moniker. - Dio Brando, the main antagonist of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure manga and anime, was partially named after Ronnie James Dio (the "Brando" comes from Marlon Brando). - Dio announced he was diagnosed with stomach cancer in November of 2009 (surprised he was omitted from the 2010 list), and died six months later.

That doesn't really tell us his condition. None of what they say in an article gives us a clue about his condition, just that he's been moved to a facility that specializes in a range of rehabilitation. Given that they do specialize in stroke rehabilitation though, that does confirm earlier reports, but it doesn't rule anything out because the family has been extremely tight-lipped about exactly what happened..

Danny Trejo is 79.

As I said a few days ago it was crazy to perform major surgery in his state. The wife is just deluded. When you love someone deeply letting go can be the hardest thing to do but ultimately you have to as prolonging the indignity and suffering is just a selfish act.I wonder at what point she will agree to switch the machines off ? He already had multi organ failure and was riddled with infections malnourished and bed bound before life support.

Guardian obit.

It would be straight up Aesop-esque if after all the fake Superstar health scares, the family prolongs the real one into Zsa Zsa territory.

Stuff gets around the industry. People talk. Hollywood is a very interconnected place...

According to this expert Jimmy Carter is an outlier now.

Damn it, Thought he was dead got all my hopes up.

He's written a book about how Rolf is actually innocent. Take that for what it's worth!

He's like the Schrödinger's cat of dying celebrities it seems. Is he well or isn't he? At Death's door or hopping around like a good un?

It’s the well known hoax site. People still fall for it. Sigh…

Would have come out already surely if it was Rolf ? I'd say it's the wife

He is not in imminent danger. This already worked with another Australian celebrity...

A "private ambulance" is not usually bound for a hospital.

There also a good chance we will get two clean sweeps if gabor and jaruzelski die and then rooney, I actually think this will happen . Also a small chance of 3 at once If rooney survives kirk douglas and fats domino. I have a feeling rooney will live for another 4 to 5 years.
