As sad as I am to hear this...when I heard that someone from Rainbow had died, I thought for one awful moment it was going to be Geoffrey Hayes.

Bad news - RIP. First saw him singing with Elf at Manchester Free Trade Hall - think they were supporting Black Sabbath or possibly Black Oak Arkansas, who also toured on a Sabs bill, Jeez it's late and it was a long time ago.

Learning this was a bit surreal last night considering there were apparently rumours dismissed by his wife that morning, still as the legend himself said
"The ending is just a beginning" Heaven and Hell by Black Sabbath
Had a bit of a Dio binge last night and stuck on some of his good albums
Black Sabbath - Heaven and Hell
Haven and Hell - The Devil You Know
Rainbow - Rising
Dio - Holy Diver
Once spotify kicks in again I'm gonna stick on Mob Rules aswell.

My favourite ever singer. Lucky enough to see him once with Dio and once with Heaven and Hell. Had tickets for the Dio gigs in London and Manchester that got cancelled when the cancer became apprent, then my hopes were briefly raised when I heard Heaven and Hell were due to play High Voltage, but it wasn't to be. Hopefully theres some unreleased stuff out there that we will get to hear one day but I would have loved to see him live just one more time.
Expect there to be serious tributes to this God at Download and HV.
