Norwegian vocalist Jorn Lande, who sings for power metallers MASTERPLAN and recently released a tribute album to Ronnie James Dio, has issued the following update:
“The last few months have been filled with work and new impressions, and I’m slowly getting back on track with future plans .
“The HEAVEN & HELL – Ronnie James Dio tribute concert, in Victoria Park London, was a sad experience as well as a great thing to do, and I will forever be honored and grateful for being a part of it.
“I wish to thank Tony [Iommi, guitar], Geezer [Butler, bass], Vinny [Appice, drums], Scott [Warren, keyboards], Glenn [Hughes, vocals] and everyone involved for making me feel so welcome and included. I also wish to thank all the people that were there to see the show, who embraced it for what it was, a sole tribute to the man and legend Ronnie James Dio.
“Life goes on and the wheel is turning. The next step for me this year will be to go through the Jorn live material, recorded at Sweden Rock Festival earlier this summer. We are aiming for a full-lenght live CD and DVD release in 2011, but we still have to check the footage from the show thoroughly, to find out if everything is intact and quality-wise usable for a full-length DVD production. We will know soon, and let you all know.”
