Sixx reacts to death of Dio
The news of the passing of metal god Ronnie James Dio has left fans saddened, including among Dio’s rock star peers.
In a statement to AP, Motley Crue’s Nicki Sixx expressed his dismay on behalf of the band, and reminisced about the impact Dio had on them all, “Ronnie was one of the kindest souls I have ever met and his talent was beyond inspirational to so many of us. I still have this image of him standing on stage in front of 100,000 belting out ‘Man on the Silver Mountain’ and remember the shivers it sent up my spine. He will be missed by all of us.”
Motley Crue has toured with Dio and his band in the past, and were shocked to learn of his death. Dio died on Sunday, May 16th, succumbing to the stomach cancer he was first diagnosed with last year. He was 67.
