Faith No More have confirmed that Trey Spruance will play guitar on their 2027 concerts, thirty one years after he last did it.
He was in the band from 1993 to 1995 and played on King For A Day, Fool For A Lifetime, then left before the tour for it, which is the detail everyone remembers. Jon Hudson took the job and kept it until the band stopped in 2021. Spruance is better known since for Mr. Bungle and Secret Chiefs 3.
His own words about it were not those of a man being cool. It means the world to me to be invited to strap on my big boy boots, he wrote, and said he would aim his damnedest to do the Hudson and Martin eras proud.
The schedule is already long. Five stadium dates with System Of A Down open it in January, in Rio de Janeiro, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Wellington, and the summer is festivals: Welcome To Rockville, Sonic Temple, Rock For People, Rock im Park, Rock am Ring, Mystic Festival, Nova Rock, Graspop, Copenhell, Tons Of Rock and NOS Alive.
No new record has been mentioned.
