In an interview with Newsweek, guitarist Ritchie Blackmore was asked if he would reunite with vocalist Ronnie James Dio, had Dio been alive. The two worked together in Rainbow.
Blackmore was asked if he was disappointed not to have Dio in the new Rainbow lineup:
“I hate to say it, but no, I didn’t stay. I had broken up with Ronnie a long time ago, and we kept in touch from time to time, but I went my separate ways and so did he. We got along well, but I think neither of us really wanted to get back together. He was a strong alpha male, and so am I. He wanted to go one way, I wanted to go another.”
