The hope of a rainbow in the dark will continue to rule my heart, as I mourn the loss of one of my biggest idols. You were a star amongst the stars....RIP Dadu.
I was so excited when I heard that Dadu was planning to come up with another Heaven and Hell and Dio record later this year. He was battling stomach cancer but he was confident of winning over it. But I guess someone needed him more than his fans did...bon voyage Dadu.
For the Bangla Rock lovers, many would vouch that how their icon Roopam da taught them to show the \m/ (devil's horn) when a rock show was on, without knowing that it was Dadu who first taught the world what Devil's horn was.
Many of Dadu's fans all around the world would remember him as the iconic singer of Rainbow and later on Black Sabbath. But to me he was one with whom nothing would go wrong when he was on stage. Night after night whose voice would never flinch an inch even if he would start from a high A. His voice would never loose an iota of power even when he sung the highest of notes. I will always remain in awe when I watch his pitch perfect live performances and his incredible stage presence. My near and dear ones would know that I am a Maiden person but few would actually know that to me Dadu was of a different league. I cannot describe the feeling when I first rehearsed 'Rainbow in the Dark' with Rikterskale. It was a dream come true.
Thank you Ronnie James Dio (Dadu) for teaching me and thousands like me how to rock n roll...
You've got desire
So let it out
You've got the fire
Stand up and shout-shout
