May 8, 2012, 12 years ago
DEF LEPPARD/ex-DIO guitarist Vivian Campbell recently revealed plans to perform with original DIO members, stating: "I met up with the original Dio band guys, (drummer) Vinny Appice, (bassist) Jimmy Bain and (keyboardist) Claude Schnell again last night. Now that I've brushed-up on how to play those solos again, we're planning to jam some more and plan to do some gigs, too. We found a great singer who can really do justice to RONNIE's (JAMES DIO) parts."
A new update from Campbell states: "Although there have been a couple of inarticulate naysayers, I'm happy that most of you are supportive of my plans to play with the original Dio band. However, in the meantime there's Def Lep business at hand as we're gearing up for the summer tour. Rehearsals start in just over two weeks and the monkey is all fired up!"
