Nightmare Comments On Ronnie James Dio
Vocalist Jo Amore of French metal act Nightmare has issued the following comments about Ronnie James Dio passing away on Sunday, May 16th:
"The members of Nightmare, along with the whole metal community all around the world, are crying the death of our master of all, Ronnie James Dio. He was not only the best metal singer of all times who inspired so many and especially myself: I have lost a part of my soul today... Ronnie was also one of the nicest artist you would ever want to meet. There is nothing more we can say and we cannot find the words to express our sadness... Our prayers go to his wife Wendy and to his family... God Bless You... R.I.P metal bro!"
