Last In Line was formed back in 2012, two years after Ronnie James Dio‘s death by former members of the original line-up of Dio, so it’s not a coincidence that the name comes from the group’s second record released back in 1984.

But the group decided not to be a “tribute band” that only performs classic Dio songs and already released three studio albums with original songs, the most recent one being “Jericho” in 2023.
To promote the new album, the band announced many North American tour dates for next September, December and February.
The current line-up has Andrew Freeman (Vocals), Vivian Campbell (Guitar), Vinny Appice (Drums) and Phil Soussan (Bass).
Campbell is still a member of Def Leppard, band he joined back in 1992, replacing the late guitarist Steve Clark.

I'm a Brazilian journalist who always loved Classic Rock and Heavy Metal music. That passion inspired me to create Rock and Roll Garage over 6 years ago.
Music has always been a part of my life, helping me through tough times and being a support to celebrate the good ones. When I became a journalist, I knew I wanted to write about my passions.
After graduating in journalism from the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais, I pursued a postgraduate degree in digital communication at the same institution. The studies and experience in the field helped me improve the website and always bring the best of classic rock to the world!
