“It’s gonna be different — it’s gonna be a lot, lot better as far as the way it looks. It’s the same team [putting it together], but they took it to the shop and they worked on it, and I’ve seen some of it, and it it looks really really cool; it looks almost real.”
Asked if the Dio hologram will hit the U.S. at some point in 2019, Wright said: “They are in the process of deciding what’s gonna be happening with that. But it will be definitely be [going] next year — that’s what I’ve been told. I’ve been told to keep myself available.”
Wright also defended DIO DISCIPLES‘ decision to go on the road with a hologram of Ronnie James Dio, saying that “there are so many people who didn’t get a chance to see Ronnie live, so now they will get to see him as live as is possible. It’s gonna be a big show, big production,” he added. “It’s gonna be good. But that’s about all I can say about that.”
