MEMORIAL SERVICE FOR DIO
Fans of heavy metal legend RONNIE JAMES DIO will get their chance to say goodbye at a public memorial in Los Angeles on 30 May (10).
Tributes have flooded in since Dio lost his battle with stomach cancer on Sunday (16May10), including from rock stars Kiss, who halted a show in Switzerland on Monday (17May10) to lead a chant of the late singer’s nam e.
Now Dio’s fans will get the chance to pay their respects - a public mem orial service is to be held for the rocker at The Hall of Liberty in Los Angeles later this month (30May10).
A statement on Dio’s official Facebook.com page reads, "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." Dio’s wife, Wendy, has requested fans donate to the Ronnie James Dio St and Up And Shout Cancer Fund instead of sending flowers to the memorial.
