Rainbow Reunion?
Band News
Rumors suggest some kind of reunion.
Rumors suggest that a DIO/BLACKMORE RAINBOW reunion is on the horizon, but BW&BK sources reveal that the Blackmore and JOE LYNN TURNER management teams are in deep discussions with each other. Turner replaced singer Graham Bonnet and released the following albums with Rainbow: Difficult To Cure (1981), Straight Between The Eyes (1982) and Bent Out Of Shape (1983). The band had the most chart success with Turner in the lineup as the latter pair of releases were both Top 40 albums on Billboard in '82 and '83 respectively. With bassist Jimmy Bain apparently out of DIO, the pieces seem to be falling into place.
