Debbie Abono has also died from a battle with cancer. Another blow to the metal memory. While not as big a blow as Dio passing away, she still made a huge impact. If it weren't for her, thrash may not be quite the same as it is today. She helped promising thrash acts "make it", such as Possessed, Exodus, Vio-lence, Forbidden, etc. She was 80 years old.
