Dio Replacement Singer Ready For Backlash

(Classic Rock) Andrew Freeman is prepared to be regarded as "the world's most hated singer" when he replaces Ronnie James Dio in a reunion of Dio's original lineup.

Guitarist Vivian Campbell recently announced he'd jammed with keyboardist Claude Schell, bassist Jimmy Bain and drummer Vinny Appice, and it had gone so well they'd decided to work together again.

Now Schnell confirms they'll perform under the name Last In Line, by way of a tribute to Dio, who died two years ago yesterday. The keyboardist also reveals the reunion came about after Def Leppard axeman Campbell jammed with metal cabaret act Steel Panther.
