Yesterday the world lost a true icon. To the realm of heavy metal music, there was no one better. Although we(bottoms up) were never blessed with the chance to directly play music with him or even get to open for him at one of his shows, each one of us can actually say that we feel as close to him and as much of a friend and “Fellow” musician as anyone. Just being blessed with the ability to play HIS songs in OUR band and OUR stage is MORE than we could ever have hoped for. Ronni, You have influenced so many people with your words and music. You can rest peacefully knowing that your inspiration,wisdom,influence and gratitude will live on forever in our minds. Your music will NEVER die. You are a true icon and our true friend. You ARE the Rainbow In The Dark!!!!
Rest In Piece Ronni James Dio.

Your friends and brothers from Bottoms Up
