Sammy could have the Van Halen brothers hologrammed in. He could tell hologram Eddie how much of an alcoholic he is.
Too funny…
I agree with all of the previous posters on this. I cannot believe anyone would support something like this. It is so pathetic! RJD is not returning, he is dead! I blame Wendy for this! She’s trying to cash in on the man’s legacy, which is just so sad! Those of us who were lucky enough to see RJD live back in the day know that what a legendary performer he truly was. I saw him both with Black Sabbath and with his solo band. Nobody can take those memories away from me. Those who did not get to see him live should watch the videos of RJD. But don’t fall for this hologram nonsense. It’s not the same! If they want to perform as a DIO tribute band with Ripper Owens singing, I wouldn’t have a problem with that. But this hologram thing is a bad idea that, I hope, will quickly die!
I think I will attend. But only as a hologram of myself.
