Hail! vindt vervanger Paul Gray voor tour

Met het overlijden van bassist Paul Gray zat de band Hail!, waar hij ook in speelde, met een hele serie data en geen bassist.

"On Monday we were dealt a devastating blow with Paul's passing two days before our departure. We discussed the situation and unanimously thought that in the face of this tragedy we needed to remain strong and push forward because Paul would have vehemently insisted that the show must go on. In a desperate situation we made an emergency call to James Lomenzo and James responded with a Herculean effort, on only one day's notice, to fly to Portugal and rescue the Rock In Rio festival. His immediate and unselfish call to arms single-handedly saved this entire tour."

Lomenzo speelde eerder met White Lion, Ozzy Osbourne, Black Label Society en recentelijk bij Megadeth.
