Romero, who originated from Chile but is now based in Romania after living in Madrid for years, made his live debut with RAINBOW in June 2016 after being chosen to front the latest iteration of the band formed by Ritchie Blackmore following DEEP PURPLE.
The most recent incarnation included STRATOVARIUS keyboardist Jens Johansson, BLACKMORE'S NIGHT drummer David Keith, bassist Bob Nouveau (a.k.a.
