* CoolOldGuy: He was 38 when he first sang for Music/BlackSabbath and 67 when he toured for the last time. However, for many years, Dio [[OlderThanTheyLook lied about his age]], saying he was born in 1949 instead of 1942.

Born Ronald James Padavona, Ronnie James Dio (July 10, 1942 -- May 16, 2010) was a Heavy Metal musician from New Hampshire. He was well known for his powerful singing voice and popularizing [[WardingGestures "the horns"]] hand gesture. He worked with Elf, Music/{{Rainbow}}, Music/BlackSabbath, and his own solo band Dio. Near the end of his life, he handled the vocal duties of a reunited Sabbath, under the name Heaven and Hell.
He unfortunately was diagnosed with stomach cancer in November 2009. He [[AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence ascended into]] Rock & Roll Heaven on May 16th, 2010, at 7:45 AM after a long and hard battle.

* TeenGenius: Rowan Robertson was only seventeen when he auditioned for the band, and while Dio was greatly impressed by his performance, he was extremely reluctant to hire someone that young. It was only after reviewing all the other finalists and determining that Robertson was the best out of all of them that he relented and gave Robertson the job.
