On July 18, the two Canadian rock legends will reunite for a one-time charity fundraiser for Canada’s Walk of Fame at Toronto’s Casa Loma. Billed as “Music Under the City Stars,” the high-priced event (single tickets for concert and gourmet dinner run $2,500) will see Bachman and Cummings perform together for the first time in over a decade, trading hit songs and sharing the stories behind them. If successful, it may lead the rock legends to join forces once again for future tours, Nicholas Jennings writes.
