Brett Tuggle rose to prominence after touring with David Lee Roth from 1986 until 1994. He was a founding member of the band. They became famous for writing the popular song “Just Like Paradise” in 1988. Brett was rumored to be reuniting with Roth for solo performances in 2020. From 1997 through 2017, Brett was a member of Fleetwood Mac’s reunion tour. He first contacted them in 1992, while he was a member of their drummer Mick Fleetwood’s side band, the Zoo. Things were never the same after that.”

Shraddha
I am a second-year journalism student from the school of Mass Communication at KIIT Deemed University, Bhubaneswar. Since I'm pursuing journalism, writing and getting published is my dream job. Due to the fact that my subject's studies are based entirely on my research work and sources, I am able to write informative articles. New writers are worried that the story has been told already, well, it has been, but not by you.
