Quiet Riot will carry on touring following the death of drummer Frankie Banali, the group’s strongest thread back to its chart-topping heyday.
The band, which now features former Type O Negative and Danzig drummer Johnny Kelly behind the kit, intends to play a couple of shows next month and a smattering of dates beginning in spring next year. “It was Frankie Banali’s wish that the band continue and we keep the music and the legacy alive,” the group wrote on Facebook.
