Ronnie James Dio died 15 years ago, on May 16, 2010, less than six months after announcing he was battling stomach cancer. Classic Rock's Paul Elliott, who first saw Dio onstage at the Hammersmith Odeon in 1984 and interviewed him many times, paid tribute.
The man whose mighty voice lit up the music of Rainbow, Black Sabbath, Dio and Heaven And Hell was truly a unique talent: a vocalist of immense power, expression and innate melodic flair, an elegant lyricist, and a storyteller of rich imagination. There is magic in the words and voice of Ronnie James Dio.
Music was central to his life from an early age. Although he never received any formal vocal training, as a child he mastered French horn and trumpet, to which he later attributed the breathing control pivotal to his singing power. He played bass guitar in his first professional group, the Vegas Kings, a rockabilly outfit formed in 1957 and based in New York State. But it didn't take him long to answer his true calling. By the end of 1958, he was lead singer of a new-look band, Ronnie & The Red Caps, later renamed Ronnie Dio & The Prophets after Ronnie had adopted a stage name appropriated from mobster Johnny Dio.
Success did not come quickly. As the rock era dawned in the 60s, Dio toiled in obscurity as leader of the Electric Elves, subsequently shortened to Elf. But in the early 70s came the break that he had longed for, when Deep Purple's Roger Glover and Ian Paice saw potential in Elf and elected to produce the band's self-titled debut album. And from there, a strong connection was formed between the two bands – a connection that led Dio to the man who would transform his career and change his life.
Ritchie Blackmore, Deep Purple's moody guitar hero, took a shine to Elf – and especially their singer – when the two bands toured together between 1972 and 1974. And when Blackmore chose to make a solo record, having openly voiced his displeasure over Purple's funk-influenced albums Burn and Stormbringer, he enlisted Dio and the other members of Elf, minus guitarist Steve Edwards. That album, titled Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow, was released in 1975 shortly after the guitarist quit Deep Purple. And it was immediately apparent that Blackmore had found the perfect foil in Dio, a singer whose voice and imagery were ideally suited to Blackmore's baroque taste.
Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow was the album on which Ronnie James Dio came of age. After all the lean years before and with Elf, this was Ronnie's golden opportunity, and he responded with a performance of complete authority. The album's opening track, Man On The Silver Mountain, set the template for so much to come: an epic, mystical tale rendered in a voice that soared and thundered. And Dio proved equally adept on the album's gentler songs, the poetic Catch The Rainbow, and The Temple Of The King, perhaps the most beautiful and elegiac song he ever recorded.
What followed was one of rock's all-time classic albums, establishing this new band – now simply named Rainbow – as a major force, and confirming Dio as a singer of unrivalled power. Released in June 1976, Rainbow Rising is the model of what aficionados like to call 'castle rock': heroic, fantasy-themed, progressive heavy metal built to a monolithic scale, and most potently illustrated by Stargazer, the album's vast quasi-symphonic centrepiece. Classic Rock's Geoff Barton, then writing for Sounds, summed up Rising perfectly, describing it as 'thermonuclear rock'n'roll'.
How to top that? Ronnie almost did on Rainbow's third studio album Long Live Rock'N'Roll with the track Gates Of Babylon, another Stargazer-sized set-piece. But that record, best known for its anthemic title track, was to be Dio's swansong for Rainbow, Blackmore replacing him with dapper Englishman Graham Bonnet as he pursued a more radio-friendly direction. It was hard on Ronnie, being out of a job after just four years with Rainbow. But within a year he would be courted by another world-famous rock band – and this would present him with the greatest challenge of his career.
When announced as the new singer in Black Sabbath – succeeding the much-loved Ozzy Osbourne – Dio faced hostility from the media and from hardcore Sabbath fans. To further complicate the issue, Dio was an American joining a quintessentially British band. But Dio's debut with Sabbath, 1980's Heaven And Hell, silenced his critics. In Sounds, Peter Makowski stated: 'Ronnie James Dio has injected a whole new energy into the group… Just sit back, turn it up and feel your brain implode.
Simply put, Dio made Black Sabbath great again. His gift for melody, and his poetic sensibility, brought a lyrical quality to Sabbath's music and inspired Tony Iommi in particular, whose lead guitar work on the album's phenomenal title track is the best he has ever played. And crucially, Dio could also handle the really heavy stuff, as he proved emphatically on Neon Knights, arguably the heaviest of all Sabs songs. Nobody has ever sung a heavy metal song better than Ronnie did with Neon Knights.
He would make another great album with Sabbath, Mob Rules, released in 1981. But as so often happens, a combination of heavy touring and personality clashes led to a split in 1982 amid rumours that the rival parties had been tampering with the mix of the live-in-concert album Live Evil.
Many years later, Ronnie would dismiss these stories as 'bullshit', but on the cover of Live Evil there was a small detail that spoke volumes of the animosity between Sabbath and Dio: the singer was billed not as Ronnie James Dio but as plain Ronnie Dio. It was a cheap shot to which Ronnie reacted by forming a new band under his own name, a band whose first album would blow Sabbath out of the water.
Holy Diver, released in June 1983, is one of the great heavy metal debuts. The band Ronnie put together featured two familiar faces – former Rainbow colleague Jimmy Bain on bass, and fellow Sabbath fugitive Vinny Appice on drums – plus a relatively unknown and inexperienced guitarist in 19-year-old Vivian Campbell, previously of Irish band Sweet Savage. But they made a tight unit: Bain and Appice rock solid, Campbell flashy and fiery.
With Ronnie now undisputed group leader for the first time since Elf, Holy Diver was the album on which his singular artistic vision was finally realised. It's a record packed with classic songs, not just Dio classics but genre-defining heavy metal classics: Stand Up And Shout, Holy Diver, Rainbow In The Dark, Don't Talk To Strangers. By comparison, Sabbath's Born Again, featuring Dio's surprise replacement Ian Gillan, was widely regarded as a joke, even before Spinal Tap lampooned the Sabs' Stonehenge stage set.
Throughout the 80s, Dio - the man and the band - maintained a large and loyal following. Band members came and went, beginning with Vivian Campbell, who went on to Whitesnake and then Def Leppard. In '86 Ronnie organised Hear 'N Aid, heavy metal's answer to Band Aid, a charity project for African famine relief that produced a hit single, Stars, written by Ronnie and sung by a hairy ensemble cast featuring members of Motley Crue, Iron Maiden and Judas Priest. And if no subsequent Dio album ever matched Holy Diver, Ronnie continued to deliver great songs (We Rock, The Last In Line, Sacred Heart, Rock'N'Roll Children) and spectacular live shows. (Nobody who saw Ronnie battling Dean The Dragon on stage could ever forget the experience!)
Then, in the early 90s, came an astonishing volte-face. Ronnie rejoined Black Sabbath. It didn't last. They made a half-decent album, Dehumanizer, but when Sabbath were invited to support Ozzy on what was billed as the Double-O's farewell tour, Ronnie pulled out and Rob Halford of Judas Priest acted as stand-in.
Ronnie re-launched Dio in 1994, and in the next 10 years the band recorded five albums with varying line-ups. But for Ronnie, Black Sabbath was unfinished business, and in 2007 he reunited with Iommi, Appice and bassist Geezer Butler as Heaven And Hell. This would prove to be Ronnie James Dio's last hurrah.
Initially, Ronnie had intended to reform Dio after Heaven And Hell's world tour, but such was the success of that tour, and so strong was the vibe in the band after recording three new tracks for the Black Sabbath compilation The Dio Years, it was decided that Heaven And Hell would record a brand new album. That album, The Devil You Know, was released to widespread acclaim in 2009. It would be the last of Ronnie's recordings released in his lifetime.
The death of Ronnie James Dio has had a profound effect both on those who knew him and those who simply loved his music. For this writer, there are many memories to cherish. Ronnie was the first rock star I interviewed as a professional journalist, back in 1985, when he was promoting Dio's Sacred Heart album. It was a huge thrill for me to meet him. Since 1980 – when I unwrapped a Christmas present from my brother, a cassette of Heaven And Hell – I have been a Ronnie James Dio fan.
I first saw Ronnie on stage with Dio at the Hammersmith Odeon in 1984, on The Last In Line tour. And across the years I've seen Ronnie play so many great shows: at Birmingham NEC with that bloody dragon, at London's Astoria performing the whole of Holy Diver, and the last time, at Brighton Centre with Heaven And Hell.
My last interview with Ronnie was just a couple of years ago, when he was in London with Heaven And Hell. What I remember most of all was the warmth of the rapport between him and Tony, Geezer and Vinny. I asked Ronnie about a phrase he used many times in his lyrics, a phrase that had become akin to a trademark: 'Look out!' He'd used it in Holy Diver, in Rainbow In The Dark, and a record-breaking five times in Sabbath's Children Of The Sea.
He smiled. 'It's funny. Whenever I play in Phoenix, this one guy is always there, and every time I'm going to sing it he holds up sign that says 'Look Out!' I take it as a compliment!'
He was right: it is a compliment. When I had a leaving party after 10 years working for Kerrang!, the invitations featured a photo of Ronnie with a stuffed eagle and the headline: Look Out! It was a tribute to the man who, for me, best epitomises the spirit of heavy metal.
In a 2009 issue of Classic Rock, I stated: 'Of all the legendary heavy metal singers, Ronnie James Dio is the greatest.' And there are many, all over the world, who share that opinion. I recall a drunken night with friends in Brighton when the conversation inevitably turned to heavy metal, and, specifically, singers – at which point one friend, Andy Hunns, threatened to walk out of the pub unless we all agreed that Ronnie James Dio is the No.1 metal singer of all time. We agreed, Andy stayed. Rob Halford was voted No.2.
Ronnie James Dio sang so many great songs: Man On The Silver Mountain, Sixteenth Century Greensleeves, The Temple Of The King, Stargazer, Tarot Woman, Starstruck, Kill The King, Long Live Rock'N'Roll, Neon Knights, Children Of The Sea, Heaven And Hell, Die Young, Stand Up And Shout, Holy Diver, Rainbow In The Dark, The Last In Line, We Rock. But if there is one song, above all others, with a lyric that best captures the essence of Ronnie James Dio, it is Sacred Heart: 'Whenever we dream, that's when we fly.'
He dared to dream, and he flew high. Rest in peace, Ronnie.

Steelers legend Terry Bradshaw trashes Aaron Rodgers, tells him to 'stay in California'

The Pittsburgh Steelers continue to go through organized team activities this week without Aaron Rodgers on their roster. If Terry Bradshaw had his way, it'd stay like that. The Steelers legend and Pro Football Hall of Famer left no doubt about his feelings on the Steelers' free agency dance with Rodgers during a recent radio interview. Advertisement "That's a joke," Bradshaw said on 103.7 The Buzz's "Morning Mayhem" show about Rodgers potentially joining the Steelers. "That is, just to me, a joke." Rodgers said he communicated with the Steelers front office after he became a free agent this offseason. The former Green Bay Packers quarterback hasn't made a commitment for a 21st season, though he hasn't announced his retirement, either. He cited his age, a serious relationship and people in his inner circle going through challenging times as reasons for not being ready to commit to a team. The Steelers organization has said it's willing to be patient with the 41-year-old Rodgers. But the clock is ticking as the preparations for the 2025 season continue with OTAs and a mandatory minicamp next week. Terry Bradshaw talks with Aaron Rodgers on stage after the Green Bay Packers won Super Bowl XLV on Feb. 6, 2011. Bradshaw, who won four Super Bowl titles with the Pittsburgh Steelers, doesn't want Rodgers anywhere near his old team. Rodgers and the Steelers have been in talks this offseason but the four-time NFL MVP remains a free agent. Rodgers, though, recently hinted at playing for the Steelers during a recent podcast and his former head coach in Green Bay is certain it will happen. Advertisement The 76-year-old Bradshaw, who led the Steelers to four Super Bowl victories in the 1970s, doesn't want to see Rodgers in black and gold. "What are you going to bring him in for one year?" Bradshaw questioned on the radio show. "Are you kidding me? No, man, that guy needs to stay in California, go somewhere and chew on bark and whisper to the gods out there." Rodgers lives in Malibu, California, in the offseason. Bradshaw also is likely alluding to Rodgers' off-the-field activities in using ayahuasca in Peru — the quarterback has been open about taking the psychedelic and is an advocate for it. He also took part in a darkness retreat in a secluded cabin in a forested region in Oregon two years ago when he was deciding whether he wanted to continue playing football. Advertisement Bradshaw isn't the only ex-Steelers to blast Rodgers this offseason. Ryan Clark, who played for the Steelers from 2006 to 2013, felt Rodgers was holding the team hostage by not making a decision. "It makes me sick, to be honest," Clark said April 15 on ESPN morning sports talk show "Get Up." Aaron Rodgers trending: Danica Patrick claims her relationship with quarterback was 'emotionally abusive' that wore her 'down to nothing' Will Aaron Rodgers play on the Steelers? Rodgers to the Steelers certainly appears likely. The Steelers unloaded their starting quarterbacks from last season and enter offseason activities with 29-year-old Mason Rudolph, who has 18 starts in seven seasons, and Ohio State rookie Will Howard, whom Pittsburgh selected in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, as their top two QBs. Advertisement Asked about the Chicago Bears during a recent live podcast appearance in Austin, Texas, Rodgers brought up a team — without mentioning the name — that will play in the Windy City in 2025. "I believe there's a team that might play in Chicago this year on a road trip," Rodgers said. "I don't know. I'll have to check it out." The Steelers play the Bears on Sunday, Nov. 23, at Soldier Field. Steelers schedule The Steelers continue OTAs this week before holding a three-day mandatory minicamp June 10-12. While Rodgers hasn't been at OTAs, he held a highly publicized throwing session on the campus of UCLA with new Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf in late March. Advertisement Whether that was another clue to Rodgers' plans or just a red herring remains to be seen.

Sabrina Carpenter on potential backlash against 'Man's Best Friend' amid claims she's catering to the male gaze: 'I can not give a f*** about it'

Sabrina Carpenter knows what's being said about her — she just doesn't care. The pop star unveiled the cover art for her forthcoming album, Man's Best Friend, on Wednesday and was quickly faced with criticism. On the cover, Carpenter is seen on her knees, wearing a little black dress and heels. She's looking at the camera, doe-eyed, while a man, who is standing in front of her, grabs her hair. The online discussion surrounding the album's cover art is brimming with divisive opinions. Some people are calling it contradictory to Carpenter's 'man-hater' attitude. Others, however, are defending it as being intentionally controversial — because Carpenter isn't one to do things without subtext. 'The concept of being a man-hater yet making your album cover a pic of you getting on your knees for a man while he grips your hair in a degrading manner is so odd,' one fan wrote on X, while another added, 'Her man hating is all performative.' The 26-year-old singer is no stranger to criticizing men in her songs. On 'Please Please Please,' she begs her current partner not to embarrass her. On 'Dumb & Poetic,' she laments being fooled by a seemingly good guy. On 'Manchild,' her lead single off of Man's Best Friend, she complains about how immature men can be. To say that the album artwork is proof that Carpenter's critique of men is suddenly inauthentic, for some fans, misses the mark entirely. 'My 'woke' opinion but everyone's reaction to this is just more purity bs that was forced onto women hundreds of years ago cause you just cant believe that women are something other than 'pure' and 'innocent,'' one fan said in defense of the cover. Man's Best Friend is out Aug. 29. Until then, Carpenter isn't all that concerned about what people might think of it. 'I'm living in the glory of no one hearing it or knowing about it, and so I can not care,' she told Rolling Stone for its July-August cover story. 'I can not give a f*** about it, because I'm just so excited.' Even Carpenter's Rolling Stone cover has generated discourse. On it, the pop star wears only white lace stockings, while her Rapunzel-length hair strategically covers certain parts of her body. On Rolling Stone's official Instagram post unveiling the cover, many fans have come to Carpenter's defense, again. 'This is the least sexual image, it's simply a feminine figure nude, with hair covering intimate areas, it's reminiscent of the birth of Venus by Botticelli, if we're viewing any image of a nude body as sexual we're dangerously straying into conservatism here,' one user wrote. Added another fan, 'People turned on her so fast after that album cover (as we know, a woman comparing herself to a man's literal female dog is to be taken at 100% face value and must mean that she now thinks all women should submit to men and be tradwives or w/e). and just in general young people are more conservative and prudish than ever, we are so quickly backsliding into weird christian fundamentalism as a society.' Carpenter celebrates her sexuality, while still prioritizing her female fan base. That she would suddenly turn around and cater to the male gaze feels off-brand for her, especially following the critical reception of Short n' Sweet, the two-time Grammy-winning album on which she exudes sexual positivity. Tracks like 'Bed Chem,' for instance, are rife with both cheeky innuendos and goofy, straightforward proclamations of being a woman who loves sex. Carpenter sings about it all so casually. Her NSFW lyrics aren't as salacious as they are cleverly written. 'Anytime I didn't really want to be nice and please people, I could use sarcasm as a tactic of being transparent, and I didn't come across as rude or bitchy or hard to work with,' she told Rolling Stone. 'This opens a whole other conversation [about] how women have to reshape their dialogue and overall intentions in order to make sure they're not coming off a certain way. When in reality, I've started to realize it doesn't make you a bad person to be assertive, or know what you want.' If the controversy surrounding her album artwork and Rolling Stone cover is any indication, Carpenter isn't afraid of a little backlash. She's exuding femininity on her own terms, in a way that makes sense to her. Whether or not you understand it is of little concern to her.

Dating is broken. Matchmaking is having a moment.

In Materialists, Dakota Johnson stars as Lucy, a matchmaker forever trying to crack how modern dating requires participants to define and quantify their desires. Hopeful singles tell her what they want from a mate: How tall they should be, how thin, how rich, how bald, how spontaneous and so on. In turn, she balances what's available with what's possible and compatible, attempting to make a long-lasting match. While professionally pairing clients, Lucy reckons with her desire to be financially secure, which forces her to choose between two very different love interests: The wealthy and kind Harry (Pedro Pascal) and her fiery but constantly underemployed ex-boyfriend John (Chris Evans). In theaters on June 13, the movie is a sociological exploration of ambition, money, desire and, most obviously, the broken state of dating. Love bombing, situationships and apps, which, according to Pew Research data from 2023, three out of every 10 U.S. adults have used, are fueling what's being called a romantic recession. Services like Tinder, Grindr, Bumble, Match and many more streamline the dating process by asking forthright questions and encouraging people to fill out profiles showcasing their best features and nonnegotiables. But while ease and convenience were promised when these sites were first introduced — in 1995; Grindr, the first major mobile dating app, in 2009; and Tinder, the first mainstream swipe-based app, in 2012 — according to Brie Temple, chief matchmaker at the dating service Tawkify, dating apps are starting to 'feel like a full-time job with no reward.' It's perhaps this crisis that's fueling the current cultural fascination with matchmaking, as evidenced by not just Materialists but multiple new books and TV shows. Dolly Chua, the chief matchmaker at GaiGai, is featured on TLC's Match Me Abroad, which premieres on June 22. She gets the intrigue — it's 'usually a private and personal experience.' 'When it's brought out into the open for everyone to watch, that's where the excitement lies!' she excitedly tells me. 'For those seeking a serious relationship but unsure how or where to begin their dating journey, the process can often feel overwhelming when done alone. That's where a matchmaker can offer a solution.' Curiosity may draw eyeballs, but matchmaking 'truly works,' according to Adam Cohen-Aslatei, the CEO of matchmaking company Three Day Rule — and has for hundreds and hundreds of years. 'Every culture except for Americans has matchmaking as a foundational component,' he tells Yahoo Entertainment. 'When the community is involved in your love life, it actually works. Divorce rates are way lower. People are happier because your family and your friends have your best interests at heart.' It takes a human touch to truly crack attraction, and Cohen-Aslatei insists matchmaking has a much higher success rate compared to dating apps. 'There's not any amount of inputs that you're going to put into an app for someone to really understand who you are as a human being and be able to find someone else for you, which is why I don't think anything will be able to really replace matchmaking,' he says. Maria Avgitidis, also known as Matchmaker Maria, published her bestselling book Ask a Matchmaker in May. Between her personal matchmaking work and the dating advice she provides online, she believes she's influenced between 3,000 and 4,000 people to get married. 'I don't count anymore,' she laughs. The matchmaking industry took a hit when dating apps really took off in the 2010s, she tells Yahoo Entertainment, but since then, she's also gotten phone calls every single day from people complaining about how they're fed up with swiping. Another big part of her job is helping people 'face reality' — her clients will be able to find a dream guy, but he might be older than them, shorter than they think they like or a single dad when they didn't think they'd be open to that. According to Avgitidis, compatibility isn't even the most important thing. Mutual respect, an understanding of healthy communication patterns and conflict resolution skills are also crucial. After all, marriage isn't just about love. 'My grandmother was a matchmaker during wartime … and yet she managed to connect families with each other because that was what marriage was, right?' Avgitidis says. 'I know we like to think of it as a love thing, but it wasn't a love thing for almost all of human history. It was a contract between two families to create an alliance and possibly create an economy. It was an instinct for survival.' Shows like Match Me Abroad and The Millionaire Matchmaker are reality television, whereas Materialists is a fictional romance inspired by writer-director Celine Song's experience briefly working as a matchmaker in the 2010s. She told Entertainment Weekly that she 'learned more about people and what's in their hearts than I have in any other period of my life.' It's in the drama department where real matchmakers take issue. Avgitidis and Cohen-Aslatei, who have both seen Materialists, appreciated the representation of their profession on its surface but had qualms about Lucy's skills as a matchmaker. It's not always like this. 'There were parts of the movie that were insanely accurate, but there were other parts where I was just like, 'That's not been my experience,'' Avgitidis says. When Lucy goes to great lengths to understand her clients' desires, make good matches and call both parties after their first dates — that's accurate. The depiction of the burnout that Lucy experiences is also extremely real, Avgitidis explains. 'In our industry in general, the rule is you're not a real matchmaker until you hit 18 months, because 99% of matchmakers fall off the face of the planet … it's burnout,' she says. 'Emotional bandwidth is a real thing.' Without revealing any spoilers, one of Lucy's matches goes so horribly awry, the fallout made Avgitidis feel 'embarrassed to be a matchmaker.' Lucy failed her client by not spending enough time taking notes and truly getting to know her potential date. 'Every professional matchmaker I know writes essays on their potential matches and puts them on the computer so other matchmakers know what you're doing,' Avgitidis says, drawing a contrast with Lucy's few lines about a client scribbled on a notepad. Cohen-Aslatei agrees that part of the movie was 'cringey' and 'highly rare' for the industry. He enjoyed the parts of the movie that reflected how invested matchmakers are in the success of their clients' relationships. Every Monday at Three Day Rule, all 60 employees hop on the phone and share their success stories. Some of the challenges felt accurate to him too. 'Clients [sometimes] come to you with an expectation, like, 'I know exactly what I want, here's 17 pages, give me all this stuff! I'm giving you all this money so you can just build me a spouse,'' Cohen-Aslatei explains. 'We talk them through their preferences … what kind of relationship they're looking for and what they want to be in five years, then we backtrack to see what requirements they have to get to that healthy, successful relationship.' Regardless of how matchmaking is represented on our screens, it isn't going anywhere. 'There is a constant cycle of matching, small talk and worthless conversations that go nowhere. Many of those coming through our door share their burnout from the emotional merry-go-round, especially when they feel matches are promising but do nothing more than amount to nothing serious,' Tawkify's Temple says. 'Industry-wide, our feedback is the same: While apps have opened up more people, they have diluted the richness of relationships.' Matchmakers want to give people that 'richness' back. Could pop culture give the industry the boost it needs?
