"I was already traumatized by Frankie's passing, so it was a decision that I had to take a lot of time to think about it - let the mourning period ," Rudy added. So, after Frankie passed away, I went over to Regina's house, and we talked, and she expressed to me that Frankie wanted me to come back to the band, that he wanted to have a founding member there in the band. And then, the following day, when he was taken to the hospital, Regina made it possible for me to be with Frankie for his last hours. Regina requested it, and I spent time with him. It wasn't until a couple of days before he passed away that I was able to go to his house. ![]() "That really made it impossible for me to be in his presence. "He let me know in April of 2019, and COVID happened in 2020," Rudy continued. So we would text each other a lot, every day, and stay in touch. So we stopped kind of hanging out as much because, obviously, he was too tired. And so it was really an exhausting thing. I mean, he would be taking multiple treatments to fight it, and he would be touring. Regarding how his return to QUIET RIOT came about, Rudy said: "After Frankie told me in 2019 that he had pancreatic cancer, and then he started his fight, it was a daily fight. To me, that was a turning point as a musician." He said: "I am returning home, going home to QUIET RIOT in the beginning of 2022, next year." He also noted that "next year marks 50 years of my journey with QUIET RIOT, because that's when I met and I started playing with Frankie Banali, another founding member of the 'Metal Health' version of QUIET RIOT. Sarzo discussed his return to QUIET RIOT on August 2 during an appearance on SiriusXM's "Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk". Chuck is and will always be an invaluable member of the QUIET RIOT family. Wright has been one of the band's longest touring and recording members and will continue touring with the band through the end of 2021. He was a contributing songwriter on 1986's "QRIII" and appeared in the band's video for "The Wild And The Young", among others. Wright has served off and on with QUIET RIOT for nearly 40 years, appears on nine albums, and is known as the bassist for QUIET RIOT's mega-hit "Metal Health" (Bang Your Head) and "Don't Wanna Let You Go". QUIET RIOT and their management would like to formally thank Chuck Wright for his many years of dedication and perseverance and, most importantly, his distinguished talent. With the move, longtime QUIET RIOT bassist Chuck Wright is graciously stepping aside to continue his recent solo efforts while heightening his role with his award-winning residency show "Ultimate Jam Night" at the legendary Whisky A Go-Go which all the members of QUIET RIOT fully support. Rudy is looking forward to recording and touring with QUIET RIOT beginning in 2022. During his years out of the band, Sarzo was a member of OZZY OSBOURNE, WHITESNAKE, DIO, BLUE ÖYSTER CULT, QUEENSRŸCHE and THE GUESS WHO. Sarzo appeared in the most notable music videos in the MTV age and toured with the band until 1985 and again from 1997 to 2003. He played bass on the "Metal Health" album, which sold over ten million copies and spawned the hits "Cum On Feel The Noize" and "Metal Health" and on the follow-up record "Condition Critical". Rudy was one of the original founding members of the legendary "Metal Health" lineup.
