Do you believe in ghosts? More to the point, do you believe the ghosts of dead rock stars hang around concerts where their songs are being played? If so, then add Ronnie James Dio to the list of possible apparitions — because according to at least one witness, he popped up (quite literally) at a Last in Line show this weekend.
Last in Line is the group featuring ex-Dio guitarist Vivian Campbell, fellow founding Dio members Vinny Appice, Jimmy Bain and Claude Schnell, plus lead singer Andrew Freeman. Together, they perform early Dio material from Campbell’s years with the band. They did their first ever concert on Saturday, Aug. 3, at Slidebar in Fullerton, Calif., and when Freeman’s brother Raymond looked at the photos later on, he claims he spotted something odd.
“Call me crazy, but it somewhat appears to be Ronnie James Dio just above [Last in Line guitarist] Vivian Campbell,” he told Blabbermouth. “Just weird … Ghost??? Weird lighting??? Not sure, but it’s there and pretty creepy.”
Ray then took to his Facebook page to say Ronnie channeled himself through Ray’s brother (the Last in Line frontman):
"The moment Ronnie dio came through this past weekend…watch the video…right when vinny goes to long on the snare fill…look at my brother’s face….that’s dio….channeling through my bro who I have now tagged Di’ omen…..weird sh– like this runs in my fam. Call me crazy"
Of Interest...
Dio rocks. Even dead.
ROCK!
Love me some Dio!
Zac from Ghost Adventures would want to investigate this.
meh - i see a conical illumination from an overhead light - but hey - one mans light is another man Dio
Didnt see it.
I could SWEAR I saw RJD buy nachos at the Air Supply concert my girlfriend made me take her to!
I KNEW it!!! It was his GHOST!!!
He was at an Air Supply concert?!?!? Dang. I thought he was a decent guy; sorry to hear he ended up in hell.
;-\
More creepy and mysterious is how Vivian Campbell is now in a Dio cover band considering he trashed the music of Dio publicly for 30 years and has smeared Ronnie James Dio when interviewed and he has stated many times how he regrets the music he made in Dio. The really creepy part is he waited until Ronnie James Dio died before doing something like this.
Exactly. Which is why the only reason Dio’s ghost might be hovering over Vivian’s head is holding a baseball bat...
