"The TENACIOUS D movie 'The Pick of Destiny', which marks Ronnie James Dio's acting debut, hits theatres November 22, and Ronnie recently attended the London premiere, followed by a stop at the Classic Rock [Roll of Honour] in London, where Ronnie was awarded the 2006 'Metal Guru' award.

The group, named after the first post-Ozzy Osbourne SABBATH album, is expected to announce many other festival appearances during 2007.
