I don't have any inside information, of course, but I can't imagine the band touring without a backup keyboardist. That's their touring configuration since ... forever. Even on the 1980 and 1982 tours, Sova was backstage triggering Oberheim patches for Tusk and Hold Me. The bigger question is whether the band's going to bring a backup guitarist, now that it has a lead guitarist and a rhythm guitarist. Rick and Billy were lead and rhythm respectively, too, but I don't remember whether someone else played guitar on the back line.

Apparently Neale Heywood is still on board.

And, didn’t Ray Lindsey play on GYOW on the 1987 tour?

If Neale Heywood is still aboard, Brett Tuggle should be back as well.

Brett decided not to participate.
