Greg Prato from Rolling Stone spoke with Wendy Dio, the wife/manager of legendary singer RONNIE JAMES DIO (BLACK SABBATH, HEAVEN & HELL, RAINBOW, ELF) who passed away from stomach cancer in May.
Wendy Dio is launching the Niji Entertainment Group, with several releases scheduled for November including the double-disc set Dio at Donington UK: Live 1983 and 1987, a reissue of Holy Diver (Dio's 1983 solo debut) on 180 gram vinyl; and Bitten By The Beast, an album by Ronnie's cousin, David "Rock" Feinstein.
In 2011 the label will release a mammoth 16-album vinyl-or-CD box set, For the Record: The Complete Dio Vinyl Collection, plus The Complete Bootleg Box.
Meanwhile, she has been shopping Ronnie's memoirs with an agent.
"I'm just going to finish the end parts of it," Wendy explains. "It's actually [intended as] a three-book deal — the memoirs of Ronnie, a book of illustrated lyrics, and a photo book."
