SAGA's Comeback: Prog Rock Legends Return to Stage

0:00On April 1st, Canadian Prague-Rot Pioneers, Saga, are gearing up for a comeback with live shows across Canada in 2026. Frontman Michael Sadler stepping back on stage after a tough recovery, joining forces with guitarist Ian Criden and keyboardist Jim Gilmourin, the Courterio. The touring lineup sees some smart tweaks too. Mike Thorn sticks as the main drummer with Brad Park filling in on select dates like he has before. On bass, Mike Borkoski returns after playing with them on the 2024 tour. Dusty Chesterfield is parting ways after stepping up big when needed, and the band gave him props for his solid contributions. Sadler's journey hit hard last year with a rare aggressive muscle cancer diagnosis in 2024, but he clarified it's incurable yet, beatable, not terminal. These Canadian icons formed in 1977 in Oakville, Ontario, dropping nearly two dozen albums and selling 10 million copies worldwide.

1:00Hits like On the Loose and the Flyer have packed arenas in over 20 countries for millions of fans. Dates, venues, and tickets drop soon, so stay tuned. These vets are pumped to reconnect with their crew and keep the progressive fire burning strong. This has been Music News Today, powered by AI. I'm Corey with The Story.
