Graham Bonnet joins Savage Paradise
The new studio project featuring Mario Parga (Mario Parga/Cozy Powell/Forcefield) on guitars, Kevin Valentine (Kiss/Cinderella/Lou Gramm) on drums, Tim Luce (Alcatrazz) on bass and Eric Ragno (Takara/Vox Tempus/China Blue) on keyboards have today announced that singer Tony Martin (Black Sabbath) has left the project due to other commitments. Tony has been replaced with the legendary Graham Bonnet (Rainbow/MSG/Alcatrazz).
Mario Parga today issued the following statement:
“Tony was unable to record the new Savage Paradise album due to personal and business commitments. We’re still good friends and will undoubtedly work together in the future, and I wish him great success with his own projects.
I’ve known Graham (Bonnet) for over twenty years during which time we’ve been very good friends, he’s like an older brother to me. We’ve worked on several recordings together but never played in the same band so we’re both looking forward to working within Savage Paradise. Graham doesn’t need any introductions, everyone knows what a unique and totally amazing voice he possesses and I’m very excited and pleased to have him onboard.”
