Former SCORPIONS Drummer Says RONNIE JAMES DIO 'Will Never Be Forgotten'

May 21, 2010

Former SCORPIONS drummer Herman Rarebell has released the following statement regarding the passing of legendary heavy metal singer Ronnie James Dio (DIO, HEAVEN & HELL, BLACK SABBATH, RAINBOW):

"I knew Ronnie for quite some time — he often came to SCORPIONS shows over the years.

"Although he just passed away last weekend, I already really miss him.

"Hanging out with Ronnie was always fun and we always had a great time laughing and joking.

"Without a doubt, he will go down in history as one of the greatest singers in the world of heavy metal and hard rock.

"The best way we should remember Ronnie and to celebrate his life is to break out any one of his classic recordings from RAINBOW, BLACK SABBATH, DIO, or HEAVEN & HELL.

"Ronnie, you will never be forgotten."
