![]() ![]() The book, started by Ronnie, was brought to completion over the last decade by his wife and then manager, Wendy Dio, as well as renowned music writer and long-time friend, Mick Wall. In 2021, 11 years after his passing, the autobiography is finally here and goes by the appropriate name: ‘Rainbow In The Dark’. Since Ronnie’s passing over a decade ago, fans have been long-awaiting the rumored autobiography that was said to have been started by Dio several years prior to his death. All of this is what makes writing the following review for BraveWords, a book chronicling the life of Ronnie James Dio by him himself, so special and something that touches my heart so profoundly. In a way, it feels like Ronnie is still here. Like so many, I still feel the pain every May when we celebrate another anniversary of this tremendous loss. For me growing up, Dio was everywhere, and I think I might’ve been the only ten year old in the 21st century who knew every single word to “Rainbow In The Dark”. It was one of the first times that I ever saw my father cry. In May of 2010, long before I was a music writer of any kind, my father and I read the tragic and gut-wrenching news that was the loss of hard rock and heavy metal’s most beloved vocalist, Ronnie James Dio, right here on BraveWords.
