Todd Rundgren Discusses Utopia Concept and Upcoming Reunion Tour
Rundgren and longtime collaborators Kasim Sulton and John “Willie” Wilcox spoke with David Fricke on Deep Tracks.
It’s been more than three decades since Todd Rundgren and his Utopia bandmates went on hiatus — and a quarter-century since they did their one-and-only reunion tour in Japan.
Rundgren and longtime collaborators Kasim Sulton and John “Willie” Wilcox recently announced their first reunion tour as Todd Rundgren’s Utopia. They stopped by the SiriusXM studios in New York City for an exclusive interview to discuss their decision to reunite.
The trio spoke with David Fricke during an exclusive SiriusXM Town Hall on Deep Tracks about what fans should expect from the rock band’s reunion and how they’ve navigated the bumps in the road they’ve had along the way. Rundgren also explained how he came up with the Utopia concept.
Despite excitement about the band finally reuniting after more than 30 years, the reunion (presented by SiriusXM) will be without one bandmate, Ralph Schuckett. The keyboardist bowed out in mid-March due to health and personal reasons. Hear the band’s response when asked about Schuckett’s absence and how it affects the group moving forward.
