Ozzy Osbourne responds to Ronnie James Dio’s death

May 16, 2010   by  

Ronnie James Dio replaced Ozzy Osbourne as Black Sabbath’s lead singer three decades ago. But if there was any animosity between the two, Ozzy isn’t showing it here on the day of Dio’s death, as Ozzy took to Twitter moments ago so simply say “Rest In Peace Ronnie”. The two veteran heavy metal pioneers flip-flopped the lead singer slot in Sabbath, with Osbourne being the band’s original frontman, Ronnie James Dio taking over after Ozzy was fired in 1979, and then Ozzy reuniting with the band in 1997 after Ronnie had already departed.

Other hard hock heavyweights such as Slash and Tom Morello have also weighed in on Ronnie’s passing.

    [...] as the loss of Ronnie today is a major one. The confusion may have come from the fact that Ozzy did post a response regarding Ronnie’s passing today via Twitter.There’s no attempt at whimsy or comparison [...]
