Two days ago, Shannon Forrest announced his departure from Toto on his social media.
Yesterday, the band announced his successor:
“We’d like to thank Shannon Forrest for the years of commitment, great playing and good times. You are family. Forever. And we wish you success as you follow your own path brother. And with that, Toto welcomes back Keith Carlock who returns to the band after stints with Steely Dan, John Mayer, Sting, etc. See you this summer!“
