Mike Portnoy and his Transatlantic buddies have paid tribute to Ronnie James Dio.
The band ran through Dio-era Black Sabbath track 'Heaven and Hell' and stone cold heavy metal classic 'Holy Diver' at last night's show in Milan.
Portnoy stepped up to the front of the stage for the impromptu jam, which you can check out below.
Portnoy is one of many drummers to have paid tribute to the late Dio, you can check out what Lars Ulrich and Shawn Drover had to say here.
“He was playing this kit that had cushions in it and tape all over it. It didn’t sound like Rodge”: Queen hated Roger Taylor’s drum sound on their debut album so much that they “augmented” every beat for its reissue
“It’s his message, to let the world know how he feels about all the things that’s going on in the world”: Kool and the Gang drummer spent 20 years on a solo album but didn’t live to see its release
