May 20, 2010
Ronnie James Dio Public Memorial Set For May 30Ronnie James Dio’s life is to be celebrated at a public memorial service in Los Angeles later this month, it’s been announced.

The former Black Sabbath vocalist passed away on Sunday following a battle from cancer. He was 67.

Fans have been asked to gather at The Hall of Liberty in Hollywood from 2pm (local time) on May 30.

A statement on Dio's official Facebook page said: “This will be a celebration of the life and music of Ronnie James Dio and is open to all of his friends and fans from around the world.”

Musicans across the globe have paid tribute to Dio, who also worked with Rainbow and Heaven and Hell.

KISS said they would "miss" the star, while Ozzy Osbourne, who was replaced by Dio in Black Sabbath, said he was "very saddened".
