According to Blabbermouth.net, a concert held in honor of the late great Ronnie James Dio took place on the 12th of this month at Zeche in Bochum, Germany, featuring a lot of musicians (obviously) including Doogie White, Manni Schmidt, and Doro Pesch. The concert and it's proceeds were intended to hep the Stand Up And Shout society, which raises Cancer awareness.
For those of you not in the know, Dio tragically passed away after a fight with Cancer earlier this year. Stand Up And Shout was founded and is Run by his widow and former manager, Wendy.
Video of the concert can be found here, or with a quick look on Youtube. For the sake of time, and because everyone should visit Blabbermouth, I'm only going to embed one of the videos that're up on the web.
What're your thoughts on the whole thing? Should there be a Charity Concert in Dio's memory this soon after his death? Is it possible that some people are making a bit of a profit by using his name and death to their advantage?
