Ronnie James Dio Resurrected Via Hologram At Music Festival 2016 In Review
.
(Classic Rock) Dio Disciples made big news in August when they were joined onstage at Wacken by a hologram of the late singer Ronnie James Dio. The surprise stunt took place towards the end of the band's set at the German festival on August 6 as 75,000 fans saw Dio reunite with former members of his band via hologram for a performance of We Rock . The production was a year in the making and the firm behind the idea, Eyellusion, say it was "the first time a hologram has been accompanied by a live band in a traditional concert setting." Future shows with the Dio hologram are being planned by the band. Ronnie's widow Wendy, who also manages Dio Disciples and works with Eyellusion, says: "When I first experienced the full production of Ronnie performing with his band as a hologram, I couldn't believe my eyes and ears. "With Eyellusion, we have been able to get Ronnie back up on stage where he belongs, ensuring that his music and memory live on. I want Ronnie's fans around the world to share this experience."
