After a star studded awards gala on Halloween night, the Ronnie James Dio Stand Up and Shout Cancer Fund is participating in a celebrity guitar auction.
In memory of legendary metal vocalist Ronnie James Dio, a second annual awards and concert gala to benefit his ‘Stand Up and Shout Cancer Fund’ has been scehduled to be thrown on Halloween night. This year’s King of Rock ‘n’ Roll Award will go to Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi, who recently announced he was battling lymphoma.
With the newly reunited original lineup of Black Sabbath hard at work on a new studio album and a world tour around the corner, it’s hard not to think about the history of the band, and what the late Ronnie James Dio might think about the four original members coming together for one last hurrah.
