Toto, the long-running American rockers and Grammy winners, announced on their Facebook profile that drummer Shannon Forrest has left the band.
Forrest first joined Toto in 2014 as a replacement for Keith Carlock and played with the band until 2019, then rejoined the group in 2024.
Taking his place in the lineup is none other than Keith Carlock, who’s back in the fold. Carlock stepped in for Simon Phillips in Toto in 2014, recorded all the drums for the album “Toto XIV” and played on the tour that ran in April and May 2014!
In the meantime, Carlock has worked with the likes of Steely Dan, John Mayer and Sting, among others.
