Alternative metal supergroup A Perfect Circle have announced lineup changes for their latest incarnation.


After alluding to reformation for a couple of years, the band confirmed three tour dates in which they would play the entirety of each of their albums in concert - 2000's "Mer de Noms", 2003's "Thirteenth Step" and 2004's "Emotive" - playing one per night. 


A Perfect Circle have now confirmed that for this string of shows their lineup will consist of the band's founding members Maynard James Keenan and Billy Howerdell, as well as Josh Freese who has spent the past year drumming for Weezer, former Smashing Pumpkins guitarist James Iha and bassist Matt McJunkins.
