Craig Coldy : "Final Ronnie James Dio Song To Be Released"

A new song which Ronnie James Dio (Black Sabbath, Dio, Heaven And Hell, Rainbow) nearly completed before his death will be released next year, according to former Dio member Craig Goldy.


In an interview with the U.K.'s Classic Rock magazine he said: "We were working on tracks for a new Dio album just before Ronnie died in May. And we did almost finish one song Wendy (Dio, Ronnie's widow/manager)has been talking about reissuing the "Magica" album (originally released in 2000) with bonus tracks, including this one." He adds, "The thing is that the lyrics deal with what Ronnie was going through at the time, when he was battling cancer. So now they are very emotional. It's hard to listen without a lump in your throat."
