Legendary heavy metal rocker Ronnie James Dio has died. Dio took over for Ozzy Osbourne as lead singer for Black Sabbath in 1980. He also enjoyed a successful solo career. Last summer he was diagnosed with stomach cancer. Dio was 67 years old.
This is just the third death of the year in the Circling Buzzards. But the 33 points from Dio's death makes things all tied up as we near the halfway mark.
