Appice Laughs Off Dio Ghost Rumor

(Classic Rock) Vinny Appice has laughed off the rumor that the ghost of Ronnie James Dio appeared at the first concert played by Last In Line. The band consists of the first incarnation of Dio � Vivian Campbell, Jimmy Bain, Claude Schnell and Appice � plus singer Andy Freeman.

They originally gathered to jam early Dio tracks for fun, but took it further with a series of shows earlier this year. Their touring plans were curtailed by Def Leppard guitarist Campbell's cancer fight � but Last In Line aim to return in 2014.

The band's first show took place in California in August. Soon afterwards the story was spread that late vocalist Dio had been seen above the stage while his former bandmates played.

But Appice says: "That was just someone who was, let's say, a little high-energy, a little over-enthusiastic. Come on � an apparition? Nothing like that happened." more on this story
