Rainbow Rising

Evening everyone, as of today I am leaving Rainbow Rising as 'Ritchie Blackmore'. I have, in one form or another (as dep/stand-in/permanent member) been a part of this band since 2003 and it's been a hugely enjoyable stint playing my all time favourite guitarist with some superbly talented musicians along the way, in all its various line ups over the last 22 years.

I've enjoyed some amazing gigs with RR, but the way certain events have transpired means I am no longer able to continue.

I wish Rainbow Rising every success for the future. I thank you all for your support over the years.
Best.
Neil.
