The Doobie Brothers

Patrick Simmons recalls coming up with a solution to missing-frontman problem in 1975 - but no one else seemed enthusiastic.

Coronavirus pandemic has shelved their 50th-anniversary trek, their first with former frontman since 1996.

Band is remembered for having three distinctive lead singers, but other members also got their share.

Frontman Tom Johnston says he "can't imagine a better start to our 50th year."

We were there as the group got back together at the Moonfire Ranch in California's Topanga Canyon.

Reunion with Michael McDonald will include 23 more shows than previously revealed.

They've had huge hits and health issues, breakups and hiccups, and seemingly countless comings and goings, then reunion and triumph.

Announcement made during surprise guest appearance in Nashville.

Their history is generally thought of as being of two distinct sounds and lineups, but it's more complicated than that.

Patrick Simmons runs down what band has in store for next year.
