The mighty Ronnie James Dio was about to play at 013 Tilburg next Wednesday, but it was announced he was diagnosed with early stages of stomach cancer. The gig is cancelled and we hope Dio will have a quick recovery. In this special we’ll highlight some of the greatest things the singer has done in his career.

After Elf, Dio joined Rainbow, a band formed by former Deep Purple guitarist Ritchie Blackmore in 1975. On top, you hear a live recording of Stargazer, below you see and hear ‘Do You Close Your Eyes’ with some really tight synthesizer sounds!
