Blabbermouth.net: Former DIO and current DEF LEPPARD guitarist Vivian Campbell revealed in April 2012 that he is planning to join forces with three other original DIO members to play “some gigs” that will see the musicians performing material from the early DIO records that Campbell appeared on. Dubbed LAST IN LINE, Campbell, Vinny Appice (drums), Jimmy Bain (bass) and Claude Schnell (keyboards) will be accompanied by singer Andrew Freeman, who has previously fronted HURRICANE and LYNCH MOB.
 
LAST IN LINE resumed rehearsing in December and is scheduled to have another rehearsal session tonight. Vivian says: “It sounds amazing; the original band’s energy is incredible and Andy Freeman kills it on vocals. This is gonna be so good!”
 
According to Campbell, the following songs, among others, are being rehearsed for LAST IN LINE’s upcoming live show:
