For these shows, Appice was replaced by Simon Wright, who had replaced by in Dio and also played in AC/DC,[4] keyboards were played by Alex Bubenheim.[5] The band next played at Z Rock 2009 in Dudley, England, which Appice back as the band's drummer.[6] They were inactive again until 2011, when Turner, Cavazo, Appice and Soussan were joined by keyboardist Erik Norlander.[7][8]
