“This is a tour that works musically, from an idea that germinated months ago that was able to take flight and become a reality. I could not be more thrilled.”
Toto and Cross performed together in September last year at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, and will tour Europe next month.
Cross, who won five Grammys for his 1980 self-titled debut album, also has an Oscar, a Golden Globe and an Emmy nomination to his name.
