Don't forget there was a percussionist on the Avalon and the 2001 reunion tours.
There have been multiple guitarists, sax players, keyboardists and vocalists on every tour since 2001

Interesting that Chris Spedding is not part of the band - it appears that Tom V is taking his place...
Also interesting that a backup drummer to TGPT is in the band
Yes, I don't know why Spedding isn't "on the team" this time, but a friend of his confirmed to me that he isn't. Hopefully he'll be back in the future, as he has done at least one private show with BF since the Roxy tour was announced.
I've heard that "Tugg" may be billed as a percussionist, rather than as a drummer (although maybe the promoters like to feel reassured that all eventualities would be covered if Andy, Phil or TGPT fell ill on tour!).
The rumour mill suggests that we'll be seeing Neil Jason and Fonzi as well, but I haven't seen any official confirmation.
