Scores of Ronnie James Dio’s clothing and belongings such as his stage attire, wardrobe road case, a Charvel guitar and a Barry Jackson painting that made up the cover of the icon’s The Last in Line LP, will be up for grabs during the “Property From the Estate of Ronnie James Dio” auction this fall. The auction will include artifacts from his days with Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow, items from his time with Black Sabbath and his own Dio band as well. Darren Julien, CEO and president of Julien’s Auctions, which will administer the sale in person and online on September 14 and 15, said: “Julien’s Auctions salutes Dio’s enduring legacy in this larger-than-life collection of his artifacts that will surely be the ultimate metal auction of the season.” Dio’s widow Wendy stated, “I am glad that Ronnie’s extensive collection of items will go to his fans, museums and collectors around the world to be displayed for all to see and enjoy. These items are very special to me but I recognize the historical importance of anything to do with Ronnie and he would want his fans to be able to own, enjoy and see these items for many years to come.” Copyright(c) 2018 RTTNews.com.
