Wendy Dio declara: ''Nu va exista niciodata un alt Ronnie insa vrem sa-i pastram spiritul in viata. Speram ca veti sustine trupa si in acelasi timp veti deveni discipolii lui Dio.''

Deoarece Sarzo este ocupat cu Blue Oyster Cult, James Lomenzo (Megadeth, Black Label Society) ii va lua locul in formatie pe parcursul turneului european pana cand Rudy va fi disponibil.

Datele concertele din America de Nord urmeaza sa fie anuntate in curand.
