With respect to the recent rumors of Ronnie James Dio rejoining Black Sabbath, Dio manager Wendy Dio commented, "Ronnie is not re-joining Black Sabbath. He's very happy with his own band and will be touring festivals next year with Dio, NOT OZZFEST."

Dio goes on to clarify that, "the writing project is just something that may happen between Tony and Ronnie if they have time between their own projects to write one or two songs to be included on the Black Sabbath: The Dio Years box set."

Meanwhile, Dio finish up their UK tour this weekend with a show played in Tel Aviv, Israel for the first time and will be heading to Scandinavia in December. Tour dates are as follows:
