Tony Iommi was diagnosed with lymphoma recently.
Hopefully his cancer will be easier to cure than Ronnie's.. We miss you Ronnie.

Dio is still married to Wendy who is his manager.

ClaireKJun 16, 2009

I adore him? Isn`t he divorced from Wendy Dio? I know she still acts as his manager, but he said something in a 2005 interview that sounded like they were no longer married. Also, he doesn`t wear a wedding ring anymore. Anyone know for sure?
