This was also supported by former Dream Theater member Derek Sherinian, who has collaborated with Dewa 19.

“Yes, there is a big, extraordinary project,” he said.

However, Ahmad Dhani admitted to accidentally leaking the plan. This came after Whitesnake member Dino Jelusic said that plans for concerts in Canada should not be revealed in advance.

“Hey, this shouldn’t be discussed now,” Dino Jelusic said.

“Oh yeah, just say it and Ahmad Dhani will make a mistake,” Dhani said.
