Tommy Stinson Joins
In late 2005, ex-Replacements bassist (and current Guns N' Roses bassist) Tommy Stinson and former Prince drummer Michael Bland joined Soul Asylum. They completed their American tour in support of The Silver Lining in late 2006. In November and December 2006 they opened for Cheap Trick on their American tour. On March 10, 2007, Soul Asylum joined Cyndi Lauper, Mint Condition, and Lifehouse to hold a concert to benefit Wain McFarlane, the leader of the reggae band Ipso Facto, to help pay for the expenses of a kidney transplant.
Although Tommy Stinson is a permanent member, in 2006 and 2007 while on tour with Guns N' Roses his place was temporarily filled by George Scot McKelvy. For the 2010 Guns N' Roses world tour, his fill-in was Pete Donnelly. The new album titled Delayed Reaction was released on July 17, 2012.
On November 12th, 2012 via Facebook, it was announced that Winston Roye had replaced Tommy Stinson on bass and Justin Sharbono was Dan Murphy's replacement on guitar.
