July 30, 2021 - Some of the largest names in the music industry personally congratulated Dino Jelusić on his latest success. Members of bands such as Deep Purple, Guns'n'Roses, Slipknot, as well as the Croatian singers Radojka Šverko, Massimo, and Jacques Houdek all expressed delight at Dino becoming the newest member of the legendary hard rock band Whitesnake.

Jelusić has been a long-time member of the multi-platinum-selling American band Trans-Siberian Orchestra. He plays keyboards, bass, guitar, and drums and has been performing since the age of five. He attended the Academy of Music at the University of Zagreb, the largest and oldest musical institution in Croatia. 

As Jutarnji List writes, after the coronavirus pandemic stopped a large part of the music industry, world names are slowly returning to the scene, and a new European tour scheduled for May 2022 has been announced by the cult band Whitesnake.

Dates were published on their official Facebook page, as well as information on how the famous Croatian singer Dino Jelusić will join them at the concerts.

''I am absolutely delighted to be able to welcome the extremely talented Dino Jelusić to Whitesnake. We have been keeping an eye on him since we played together in Zagreb two years ago. You will adore him!'', the band's frontman David Coverdale told fans on Facebook.

Dino himself posted on his profile, writing: "I am beyond honoured to be part of one of my favourite bands of all time.  To get the phone call from David Coverdale is something every singer and musician of my generation can only dream of, it still feels completely surreal. I cannot wait to start hitting the road with Whitesnake and as the great DC said to me himself, to give a piece of my identity to the sound of this iconic band.''
