According to Revolver, a new Faith No More promo photo confirms that the alt-metal band’s upcoming reunion dates will feature King for a Day…Fool for a Lifetime-era guitarist Trey Spruance (notably also vocalist Mike Patton’s longtime co-conspirator in Mr. Bungle).

A press image posted through FNM’s socials today (November 10th) confirms Spruance’s presence alongside Patton, keyboardist Roddy Bottum, bassist Billy Gould and drummer Mike Bordin. Their first show back is January 15th at the Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, as part of their short run with System of a Down.

Spruance had joined the band back in the mid Nineties following the departure of previous guitarist Jim Martin. While he recorded 1995’s King for a Day…Fool for a Lifetime with the band, Spruance left FNM before the tour cycle. That said, he has shown up on stage with Faith No More as a guest.

Spruance replacement at the time was Dean Menta, who’d play with the group for a year before they swapped in guitarist Jon Hudson. The latter played on 1997’s Album of the Year and 2015’s Sol Invictus, and had performed live with FNM until 2021.
