All Star Dio Tribute Gets A Name
Former Dio bandmates recruit frontmen for European tour
Classic Rock Magazine reports that former Dio band members Rudy Sarzo (bass), Craig Goldy (guitar), Simon Wright (drums) and Scott Warren (keyboards) are teaming up to pay tribute to the late Ronnie James Dio.
They will be playing shows in the UK and Europe under the name of the Dio Disciples where they will be joined by vocalists Tim ‘Ripper’ Owens and Toby Jepson.
"I wanted to let you know that Rudy, Simon, Craig and Scott will be playing some shows in Europe together with Ripper Owens and Toby Jepson as DIO Disciples," says Wendy Dio on the Dio official website. "There will never be another Ronnie, but we want to keep his music alive and hope you will support the band and become one of the DIO Disciples."
