Prior to his tragic death in 2010, Ronnie James Dio had been writing his autobiography, looking back on the remarkable life that led him from his hometown in Upstate New York to the biggest stages in the world, including the arena that represented the pinnacle of success to him - Madison Square Garden, where this book begins and ends.
As Ronnie contemplates the achievement of a dream, he reflects on the key aspects that coalesced into this moment - the close gang of friends that gave him his start in music, playing parties, bars, frats, and clubs; the sudden transition that moved him to the microphone and changed his life forever; the luck that led to the birth of Rainbow and a productive but difficult collaboration with Ritchie Blackmore; the chance meeting that made him the second singer of Black Sabbath, taking them to new levels of success; the surprisingly tender story behind the birth of the Devil Horns, the lasting symbol of heavy metal; his marriage to Wendy, which stabilized his life, and the huge bet they placed together to launch the most successful endeavor of his career...his own band, Dio.
Everything is described in great detail and in the frankest terms, from his fallout with Blackmore, to the drugs that derailed the resurrection of Black Sabbath, to the personality clashes that frayed each band.

Dio rocks and is missed
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
His drive and determination are truly amazing and his attention to details is something I can relate to in my own music career. His talents are many and I believe that even if you aren’t a fan of his music you can appreciate his story.
This book also provides some valuable insight into the business of music. Rest In Peace Mr. Dio. I grieve for Wendy and all of the friends, family, and fans for our loss. I wish I could have attended one of the Dio shows. And I will be checking out every song Ronnie James Dio ever worked on that I can get my hands on!
