JIMMY Bain, the bass guitarist who performed with the likes of Dio and Rainbow has died at the age of 68, according to reports.
Born James Stewart Bain in Newtonmore in December 1947, Bain joined his family in Canada before returning to the UK and forming the band Harlot.
Bain was asked to join Rainbow after guitarist Ritchie Blackmore had seen him performing in London.
He helped record studio album Rising, before joining the band on their world tour, but he was sacked by the band in January 1977.

Thanks for the great tunes! In fact, I think I'll plug in some Rainbow right now.
