(Classic Rock) Mr. Big have announced drummer Matt Starr will join them on their upcoming world tour. After revealing he was battling Parkinson's disease last month, Mr Big drummer Pat Torpey announced he would be cutting back on band duties - although the sticksman is expected to join the band on some tracks and participate in the group's acoustic set.

Starr is also part of Ace Frehley's solo band and will step in for Mr Big's upcoming dates, which includes one UK gig at London's Koko on October 17.

Starr says in a statement: "I'm grateful to announce I will be filling in for Mr Big drummer Pat Torpey on their upcoming tour. Pat is an exceptional drummer and an inspiration for many reasons."
