On May 30, 2010, at Forest Lawn Memorial Park's Hall of Liberty in Glendale California, Ronnie James Dio was laid to rest. But not without thousands and thousands of fans paying tribute to one of the Metal Gods! Various rockstar legends attended the service including Geoff Tate of Queensryche, Glenn Hughes of Deep Purple and Paul Shortino of Quiet Riot.
They provided a solemn tribute to one of the greatest metal artists of all time. With a sea of fans surrounding the park (with large jumbotrons), it must've felt like one of Dio's concerts. And that's probably how he would've wanted it. Not in a silent funeral home.. but to rock out and give it all to the fans!
You will be missed, RJD....

Geoff Tate's rendition of Hallelujah says it all... RIP DIO!
Rock On, DC!
