Some photos leaked of a promo shoot that featured Billy, James, Jimmy, and... Jeff. I mean we'll find out eventually but I don't think that anyone intentionally kept D'arcy out of the reunion - all of the press around Ogilala suggested that Billy & D'arcy were on great terms again. I mean D'arcy hasn't played bass publicly since the 90s, is probably not healthy enough for a full world tour, & might have lost the ability to play not even to Billy's standards but just standard arena rock shows and what they demand. Either way it's a drag.

a few weeks ago D'Arcy told some website via Facebook that she'd only found out recently that they decided to go with a different bass player but then later said her Facebook was hacked so idk what happened there. my guess is it's going to be a 3 guitars + touring bass player lineup

doesn't really feel like a lot to be excited about, especially since they're going to be touring a new album

I've been under the impression that D'Arcy is still suffering from some serious mental health and/or drug issues
