Doobie Brothers Rocker, 73, Questions His Future With the Band
Doobie Brothers Rocker, 73, Questions His Future With the Band originally appeared on Parade. If you're a fan of the Doobie Brothers, then you already know Michael McDonald's history with the band is complicated, at best. Not because there's any bad blood, but because the timeline is a bit all over the place. So, let's break it down: McDonald, 73, joined the band in 1975 as a temporary replacement for Tom Johnston, who was struggling with health issues. He quickly became a key member, shaping their sound with his soulful vocals. McDonald stayed through their peak years before leaving in 1982 when the band initially disbanded. Over the years, he's rejoined for reunions and tours, including the recent 50th anniversary celebrations, maintaining a lasting connection with the group. 🎬SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox🎬 When McDonald originally joined the band, the lineup was Johnston, Patrick Simmons, John Hartman, and Tiran Porter, among others. As of July 2025, the lineup is Simmons, 76, Johnston, 76, McDonald, and John McFee. Currently, the Doobie Brothers are touring across the U.S. and Europe on their Walk This Road tour. Earlier this summer, they also released their new album, Walk This Road. McDonald, of course, couldn't be happier to be back in the fold. "I always missed being a Doobie Brother in all the years [I was gone]. I was fortunate as a solo artist to have some songs get on the radio and be able to tour with my own band for many years. We played all over the world. It's not that I didn't enjoy every minute of that, and playing with those guys. Because I was lucky to have some wonderful musicians in my solo band, but it's not that I didn't miss being a Doobie Brother, because I always did,' McDonald told Ultimate Classic Rock in a recent interview. As for his future with the Doobie Brothers, that's still unwritten! But he's 100 percent along for the ride. "I knew it would be hard for me to resist whatever was next. They're even talking about tour dates in 2026 and my only question with that is, 'Will I still be alive?' You know, I hope so. Because for us, what they pay us to do is get on the bus and sleep on a bus, bounce down the road and eat the terrible breakfast at the Hampton Inn, you know. But what we do on stage, we would do for free, you know?' he explained. 'And that's what we live for out here, and that's why we live this lifestyle, is to get that hour and a half on stage with an audience that at this point in our career, some of those people have been coming to see us for 50 years, and there's nothing better than that. Every time we play these songs that we would have been sick of 30 years ago, at least, when we're up there in front of the audience in that moment, with that audience on that night [and] in that moment, it's almost like the first time we ever did the song. It never gets old, so we're grateful for that,' McDonald concluded.

Doobie Brothers Rocker, 76, Gives Fans Exclusive Glimpse Backstage on Tour
Doobie Brothers Rocker, 76, Gives Fans Exclusive Glimpse Backstage on Tour originally appeared on Parade. The iconic 70s rock band The Doobie Brothers are currently on tour — and founding guitarist Patrick Simmons gave fans an exclusive glimpse backstage at their latest stop, the Co-Op Live in Manchester, England. The band played the venue on July 15, and that day, they took to their Instagram stories to share a video of Simmons, 76, walking around backstage before posing with a drawn version of himself featured on a poster for this particular show on the band's current tour, titled the 'Walk the Road' tour. In the video, Simmons — who plays guitar and banjo, as well as providing vocals, for the group — can be seen smiling and making silly faces as he poses for what appears to be some photos. He even took his round glasses off for some shots to better match his drawn counterpart, who features on the poster without spectacles like Simmons sometimes wears. The Doobie Brothers are currently on tour in Europe, traversing the United Kingdom and Ireland for another week before bringing the tour back home stateside for August and most of September. Their next gig will take place in Birmingham, England at the PB Pulse Live Arena on July 17 and their last scheduled date on their website is at the Budweiser Stage in Toronto, Canada on September 18. The band was formed in San Jose, California in 1970 with an original lineup of Tom Johnston, Patrick Simmons, John Hartman, and Dave Shogren. In 1975, Michael McDonald joined the group to sub in for Johnston while he was dealing with health issues — but McDonald, 73, ended up being a key component who would stick with the band until 1982. He returned to the band in 2019 and is playing on the tour alongside Simmons, Johnston, 76, and John McFee. The band released their latest album, Walk the Road, early last month.

Rock Legends Honor the Late Jimmy Buffett On Tour Opening Night
Rock Legends Honor the Late Jimmy Buffett On Tour Opening Night originally appeared on Parade. The Doobie Brothers are back on tour, and they're paying tribute to the late Jimmy Buffett with some very special tour guests! The iconic 1970s rock band opened their Walk This Road Tour's North American leg at the Pine Knob Music Theatre in Detroit on Monday, August 5, 2025, with the help of the legendary singer-songwriter's Coral Reefer Band. This is the first time the late musician's band is touring since his death in 2023. "We have the privilege of continuing the party Mr. Jimmy Buffett started some decades ago," The Coral Reefer Band's emcee Mac McAnally, who was a close friend and collaborator of Buffett, told the crowd, according to Ultimate Classic Rock. "Nobody in the world's gonna replace Jimmy Buffett. We're just gonna honor him." Related: They paid respect to the island rock musician by leaving an empty guitar stand sitting center stage while his longtime collaborator, songwriter Scotty Emerick, joined McAnally, Will Kimbrough, and Nadirah Shakoor in sharing lead vocals. Also participating were Mick Utley (who took his retired father Mike's spot on keyboards), drummer Robert Greenidge, and on Crosby, Stills & Nash's song "Southern Cross," guitarist Peter Mayer. The group played 70 minutes of Buffett's most beloved hits, including "License to Chill," "Cheeseburger in Paradise," "Fins," "Come Monday," "Son of a Son of a Sailor," "A Pirate Looks at Forty," and "Margaritaville." The legend himself appeared onscreen briefly in a video chatting with McAnally during a concert, but the band overall kept the mood light and fun for their carefree Parrothead fans. As for The Doobie Brothers, they pulled out all the stops for their 90-minute set. The lineup featured founding members Tom Johnston and Patrick Simmons, along with Michael McDonald on keyboards, John McFee on guitar, and Marc Russo on saxophone. They played lots of fan-favorite jams, including "Take Me in Your Arms (Rock Me a Little While)," "Minute By Minute," "Call Me," "Black Water," "Amazing Grace" (instrumental)/ "Takin' It to the Streets," and "Listen to the Music." They even did an extended version of "Dependin' on You." The Walk This Road Tour runs until September 18th, 2025.
