Ringo announces 2012 All-Starr Band Members and Tour Dates.

 

Ringo Starr, fresh off the release of his new album 2012, has announced the lineup for this year’s All-Starr Band.

Todd Rundgren will once again be along.  Todd was also part of the 1992 and 1999 tours.  Toto’s Steve Lukather will be making his first appearance. Bass duties will be handled by Richard Page of The Pages and Mr. Mister fame. Page also was a member of the band last year.

Greg Rolie of Journey and Santana will lend his voice and keyboard talents to the project.  This will be his first go around.

Completing the band will be Mark Rivera on sax and Gregg Bissonette on drums. Bissonette once played with Spinal Tap and should be congratulated on just surviving.
