And this line from the press release is newsworthy all on its own.
"He is planning a return to touring in 2024."

Well, for touring, I would like to hear that from at least one other source. This just sorta seems from out of nowhere...and of course his publishing company is going to want him to tour to keep his songs "out there". At least he may be looking into touring again.

But, great writeup. Very accurate a thorough biography. Seems to be a good place to handle his publishing.

This was also posted on Fb and someone commented that Tommy's catalog is with Primary Wave, as well, and has been for a few years.

Yep - he is with them. Their roster includes bands like Boston and Def Leppard and artists like Robbie Robertson and Alice Cooper

Seems like they acquired a stake, not a full ownership
