Hard to believe we lost Ronnie James DIO over a decade ago. Remembering DIO on what would have been his 80th birthday.

Ronald James Padavona "DIO", is one of the most versatile and powerful singers in music history. His range, stage presence and ability to deliver a line was un-paralleled. RJD burst on the worldwide stage as a member of Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow creating amazing debut and sophomore efforts before being tapped to replace Ozzy Osbourne after his exit from Black Sabbath. We can remember really wanting to "not like" Heaven and Hell, but Ronnie's amazing voice with a re-energized Sabbath line-up made it impossible. DIO went on to massive solo success creating one of the finest heavy metal records of all time, Holy Diver.

We were fortunate to work with Ronnie's estate to create (2) KnuckleBonz Rock Iconz Ltd. Edition statues. Both have been long since sold out. You can occasionally find then on the secondary markets with a hefty price tag which is common for most all our SOLD OUT products.

Rock in Peace RJD !
