Spruance also spoke about the move in a post on the band’s social channels. “It means the world to me to be invited to strap on my big boy boots & join FAITH NO MORE for their upcoming appearances all around the world!” Spruance said.
“Looks like I’m gonna be riding out into the sunset well equipped with these fine angelic weapons (huge thanks to @schecterguitarsofficial) – aiming my damnedest to do the Hudson and Martin eras proud,” Spruance added. “This is so crazy. Can’t believe I get to take this insane victory lap with Billy, Roddy, Mike & Mike! See you out there!”
Spruance first played in Faith No More from 1993 to 1995. He replaced guitarist Jim Martin and recorded the 1995 album King for a Day… Fool for a Lifetime. Then he left before the tour for that record began. Dean Menta filled in on the road.
In 1985, Spruance started Mr. Bungle with Patton and Trevor Dunn. He stayed with that band until 2000, and he has been back since it reformed in 2019. He also leads Secret Chiefs 3.
Hudson first joined Faith No More in 1996. He played on the 1997 album Album of the Year before leaving in 1998. He returned in 2009 and recorded the 2015 album Sol Invictus.
The band announced its comeback earlier this year. The band has not announced a new studio album to accompany the reunion shows.
The 2027 run starts on Jan. 15 at Maracanã Stadium in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. That show is one of several stadium dates with System of a Down.
Fans can find tickets and more details on the band’s website.
