DIO Management: DOUG ALDRICH To Replace 'Injured' CRAIG GOLDY

October 3, 2005

A representative at DIO's management company, Niji Management, Inc., has sent the following statement to BLABBERMOUTH.NET regarding reports that Doug Aldrich (WHITESNAKE) will be taking over the guitarist duties for DIO beginning with the October 6 show in Eindhoven, Holland:

"The Niji Management camp reports that Craig Goldy hurt his arm while touring Russia and has been trying to continue to play the shows on painkillers, but it has now become impossible for him to continue. Therefore, Doug Aldrich will be stepping in for him from Eindhoven and will play the rest of the tour, including the U.K. Wendy Dio states emphatically that, 'Craig has NOT been drinking, and has been a real trooper, trying to perform in pain with his arm. We are very pleased that Doug is able to perform with DIO and that we do not have to cancel any shows.'"
