Well, most of you probably already heard the sad news that Toto has ended as a band. Steve Lukather decided he was tired of doing Toto, and wanted to do something else. We can of course understand that, but I’m very sure lots of fans around the world will miss Toto, their amazing live shows, and of course their incredible musicianship.
As Fergie was a member of Toto in the past, he had already accepted to take part in Toto’s planned 30 year anniversary tour, but as you all understand, that won’t happen now. That’s really sad too of course, but Steve Lukather has already mentioned several times to me (Klaus) that he would love to do something with Fergie again in the future.

Well, then we just have to live on the memories, and great albums and live recordings from Toto, and support them as best we can thru their separate solo works, that I’m really sure will be plenty of in the future. Luke has an great album out now, supporting it with a live tour, and Bobby Kimball is working on a solo album too at the moment.
All the best
Klaus

When I readed Steve’s words on his website, it really was a shock for me. Toto made a show last november in Chile, and I thank God that I had the opportunity to be there… was my last chance. I really thought would it be possible a new tour for the 30 years, and the news that singers like Fergie and Joseph maybe would be there made me happy. But now, I hope the former members in their solo’s projects, remember this country in the end of the world.
My best regards for all of you

I reaaly hate to hear this news- I was completely unaware of this until reading it here just now. I have the 25th Anniversary dvd in Amsterdam. As a musician,the band has influenced my style of playing and they are one of the bands that made me want to be a musician to begin with.
