Ronnie James Dio is NOT Dead, But 'He Is Not Doing Good'

Wikipedia strikes again. This time the victim was legendary heavy metal vocalist Ronnie James Dio. When someone posted a Wikipedia update that Dio had died from his battle with cancer. A few media outlets reported the news Saturday, despite it not having come from a credible source.

The good news is that Ronnie James Dio has not died. His wife/manager Wendy Dio posted the following message on Twitter early Sunday morning, "Don't believe the rumors, Ronnie is still hanging in there!!!"

Blabbermouth contacted Wendy and received a little more information. She told the site, ""I am at the hospital and Ronnie has NOT passed away!!!! He is not doing good, but he is not dead."

We will keep an eye on this story as it develops. We're sure we are joined by the metal community in hoping that Dio's "not doing good" status changes for the better.

Hopefully we'll have more information for Monday's Day in Rock.
