RONNIE JAMES DIO's Widow Re-Releasing Eighties Metal All-Star Project HEAR N' AID; To Host Tribute Night At Playboy Mansion
The track should be a part of Eighties lore – it features Dio and ROB HALFORD, among others, on lead vocals. But due to contract differences with the labels, the song and album weren't released until New Year's Day, 1986, well after the success of its predecessors and has since been largely forgotten.
But Ronnie's widow Wendy Dio wants to fix that. "I’m going to rerelease [Stars] because it only ever came out on vinyl and cassette (Editor's note: the CD version was released in Japan). So it’ll come out on DVD and CD," she tells Rolling Stone. "I have loads of outtakes for the video."
