If anybody saw the 'Sacred Heart' tour in 1986 we tried to make a hologram then. It's for the fans who would love to see Ronnie back up on the stage and the ones that never got a chance to see him. "We got a lot of flak in the beginning but I think more and more people are getting used to it. I just ask that people come and see the show first before criticizing," she said. The "Dio Returns" 17-song set consisted of seven tunes sung by the Dio hologram - the rest featured Owens and Logan separately or together - and encompassed material from Dio's lengthy career, including his earlier days in RAINBOW and BLACK SABBATH.Ī few years ago, Wendy told that critics of the Dio hologram were "entitled to their opinion. But I knew Ronnie well enough to know that he was very particular and he would prefer for them to let him just die and be in peace."Īfter the "Dio Returns" tour's initial seven-date run was completed in December 2017, Ronnie's hologram underwent some changes before the launch of the 2019 leg of the trek, which took place in May and June of that year. I'm just guessing, you know, that it's something that Wendy thought about and she decided that Ronnie would be fine with it. "He would probably be, like, 'This is not what I signed up for.' A hologram? It's not really what he would want to be. In December 2019, Tracy "G" Grijalva, who played for DIO from 1993 through 1999, said that the hologram "looks creepy" and resembles "a puppet." Nine months earlier, Doug Aldrich, who was in DIO between 20, told XS Rock that " Ronnie would probably not" like the hologram. Two former DIO guitarists have publicly expressed their doubts about the Ronnie James Dio hologram.

Also appearing with them are Owens and LYNCH MOB frontman Oni Logan. The Dio hologram production uses audio of Ronnie's live performances from throughout his career, with the DIO band playing live, consisting of Craig Goldy on guitar, Simon Wright on drums and Scott Warren on keyboards, along with Bjorn Englen on bass. The singer's hologram was created by a company called Eyellusion and made its debut at the Wacken Open Air festival in August 2016 in front of more than 75,000 fans. I just think that the fans would prefer to see Ronnie as being really Ronnie instead of a hologram."ĭio died in 2010 at the age of 67 from stomach cancer.

I think that there's so much more that's come along developing-wise. "There's still talk about doing the hologram," she continued. "We went out, and we tried it - we did it. I don't know if we're going to do that again or not," she said. Last month, Wendy told Ultimate Classic Rock that the Ronnie James Dio hologram was "on hold. So we're hoping to come to Brazil next year." So it won't be a hologram - it'll be a film of Ronnie himself with the DIO live band and special effects. So we took that, and we're making this with special effects.

"So we are going out next year in March - the DIO band will go out again - but this time I found an ISO film, a 17-camera shoot, there's an ISO one of Ronnie only. It's too expensive to travel, so therefore we couldn't come to Brazil, couldn't come to South America, couldn't go to Japan, couldn't go to Europe with it. "The problem with the hologram, and it's great - and I won't say never again - but it costs so much money, you can only go into certain venues because of the height of it and the size of it. " was well received sometimes, sometimes not it all depends on the people," she said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET). Ronnie James Dio's former wife and longtime manager Wendy Dio spoke to Brazil's Kazagastão about a possible return of the hologram of the legendary metal singer.
