Rainbow Rising formed part of the soundtrack to my first year away from home - played loud and often, because I could!

Saw him last year with Heaven and Hell; very impressive. This is sad news....  :(

R.I.P. Ronnie. Rainbow's 'On Stage' is still one of the best live albums ever recorded, despite having one of the worst album sleeves...

3 albums I loved growing up .. Rainbow - Rainbow Rising, Sabbath - Heaven and Hell and Dio's Holy Diver .. still love 'em too.

I was looking forward to seeing the Heaven and Hell tour   :(  RIP RJD

A real shame - especially as many people have lauded the last Heaven & Hell album among his best work.

Very sad loss. I am glad I got to see him with Heaven & Hell last year though.

Maybe the laughing smilie wasn't the best choice there, Rog...

I will admit that I only knew Gary Coleman from his stint on The Simpsons, but still, it's a sad passing.  :(
