Back in late May, Grijalva posted the following message regarding the passing of legendary heavy metal singer Ronnie James Dio (DIO, HEAVEN & HELL, BLACK SABBATH, RAINBOW):
"My condolences for Wendy Dio and all the Dio family for their loss. My prayers are with all of you.
"I worked with Ronnie for six years and it was a truly amazing time.
"Long live Ronnie James Dio, one of the greatest rock vocalists ever!"
Tracy left DIO in 1999 after he claimed he was "asked to play in a dual-guitar situation" in Ronnie's band. According to a posting on Tracy's web site, DIO was "looking for more of a Ritchie Blackmore style . . . and wanted [Tracy] to step back and just play rhythm guitar. That's when [Tracy] knew it was time to leave, freeing him to more diligently pursue his home studio projects."
