Don Dokken Says Jeff Pilson Halted Dokken Reunion
Don Dokken released the following statement on his website:
There was a lot of talk about a Dokken reunion — I tried my best to make it happen for the fans with Jon's blessing — but the bottom line was Jeff [Pilson, former Dokken bassist] said he's busy with Foreigner for the next few years, so that was that.
"When I agreed to [appear on VH1 Classic's] 'The Metal Show' [with former Dokken guitarist George Lynch], we were going to announce a reunion but at the last minute Jeff asked me not to talk about it because he had not mentioned it to Mick Jones [Foreigner] yet. I totally understood, [I] just wish he would have said something before I agreed to do the show with George. His comments on the show spoke for themselves.
