George Pimentel/Getty ImagesIt’s been more than 10 years since founding Guess Who guitarist Randy Bachman and singer/keyboardist Burton Cummings toured together, but it looks like a reunion may be in the works for next year.
Cummings has posted a couple of messages on his official Facebook page hinting that the two musicians are organizing a tour. The first post shows a photo of Cummings and Bachman arm-in-arm onstage, and reads, “‘Rumour has it’ that this might be a sight that many people see in 2020.”
The second post features another pic of Burton and Randy, accompanied by a lengthier message that reads, in part, “I’m hearing ‘rumours’…I’m hearing ‘rumours’…looks like 2020 might see this happening…and I say to myself ‘why not…?'”
The caption continues, “I’m mulling over in my mind what a set list it could be with all the [Guess Who] stuff, some of my solo stuff, and [various the Bachman-Turner Overdrive songs,] AS WELL AS a few choice numbers from our Jukebox CD…Yikes…It could very well make for a pretty strong two hours…Yes it could…”
The two veteran rockers had feuded for many years since their joint 2009 Bachman-Cummings trek, with Randy revealing in a 2014 article in Toronto newspaper The Star that the dispute involved The Guess Who’s publishing. But now it seems they’ve buried the hatchet.
Signs that Bachman and Cummings had mended their relationship first emerged this past summer. On July 18, they played a full concert together at Toronto’s Casa Loma as a fundraiser for Canada’s Walk of Fame. Then, on August, Randy joined Burton for three songs during Cummings’ show at Toronto’s CNE Bandshell.
