Toto Together Again
Toto Toto had a 31 year run before disbanding in 2008. Now, they're getting back together for a brief summer tour in Europe. The concerts are to benefit the band's former bassist, Mike Porcaro, a victim of ALS. Two of the band's founding members -- guitarist-vocalist Steve Lukather and keyboardist-vocalist David Paitch -- will be participating. Toto, formed in 1977, released 18 albums over their career. They are best known for songs like "Roasanna," "Africa" and "Hold The Line."

Alice in Footlights
Alice Cooper tells Rolling Stone that he's negotiating a possible Broadway show. Among the ideas being discussed is a show based on Coop's 1975 concept album, Welcome To My Nightmare. In the meantime, Cooper and Rob Zombie will be on the road (April-July) on their Gruesome Twosome Tour.

And the Hall Shall Rock
Among the artists scheduled to perform at the upcoming (March 15) Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremonies: Eric Burdon, Peter Wolf, The Stooges, Graham Nash and Chris Isaak. Some unidentified "special guests" are also promised. The 2010 Rock Hall inductees include Genesis, The Hollies, The Stooges, Jimmy Cliff and ABBA.
