I recently spent some time with him. He is still recovering and rehabbing from some surgeries and is physically not ready to tour again. And yes, James is the coolest.

Thanks for the info. I'd wondered how he was doing. For years, he & Jay Pierce ***were*** TSO for my family. Such amazing talents!
Robin posted this on his facebook page yesterday:
"I'm so happy to tell you that I will be joining the amazing Trans-Siberian Orchestra for another tour!! Looks like we're gonna bring the ghosts back into the arenas!! I cannot wait to see my tourbuddies again, and I hope to see you all out on the road!!! YES!!! Tour dates below (I'm with the east coast again). Have a great day wherever you are!!! XR
#TSOtime #excited #tourfriends #FIRE"
So I think we're just waiting to hear from Rob and Russell for the East group.

Russell Allen has the TSO Newark NJ show listed on his "events" section of his personal Facebook page (nothing on his fan page) so I'd take that as a sign that he's going to be back this year. Really miss James but Russell has been an awesome replacement since James had to step away with his back issues.
Looks like East is intact other than the Joel/Bill switch
I haven't seen anything from Rob Evan yet.

Certainly a betting person would bet on yes. It would be a big loss if he isn't. We had a fun thing going with the final note of What Child Is This.
This year, he was just holding it out instead of repeating, "...it begins" the last couple of times.
In Richmond, I told him my whole family was coming to the Pittsburgh show and I expected him to hold it until the lights go dark.
Well, in Pittsburgh, he pointed at me when he came out for the song and I pointed at my watch. Well, he held that note even longer than he did in the 2 previous shows I saw last year.
Cool guy, great singer.
Man.........Losing Rob..........That would be a deal killer.......
