The official website of legendary singer Ronnie James Dio (HEAVEN AND HELL, BLACK SABBATH, RAINBOW) has been updated with the following message:

"If you've been wondering what Ronnie is up to, wonder, no longer: After taking some well-deserved time off after last year's monster Heaven And Hell world tour, Ronnie will be heading off to the UK in March to begin writing the new Heaven and Hell record with the guys. Tony Iommi (guitar) will then travel to LA to reunite with Ronnie, Geezer (Butler - bass) and Vinny (Appice - drums) to continue working on the record during April and May. Then, Ronnie will take a break during the summer to play a few special up close and personal dates for the Dio fans. The dates are now coming together, so check the tour section for the latest info on concerts."

That's awesome! I agree with Darren also but I like Tony Martin too. Ozzy is ok but Dio and Martin are my choices.
