The newly announced live dates will mark the band’s first actual reunion in 12 years. Back in 2020 shortly after Schlesinger’s death, the surviving Fountains Of Wayne members played a pandemic relief benefit concert via live stream with Sharon Van Etten on bass.

Following his passing, Schlesinger received tributes from various friends and colleagues such as Tom Hanks, who wrote, directed and starred in 1997’s That Thing You Do! which saw Schlesinger work on the soundtrack for the film and was the artist behind the soundtrack’s lead single and title track, which charted all around the world.

“There would be no Playtone without Adam Schlesinger, without his That Thing You Do! He was a One-der. Lost him to Covid-19. Terribly sad today. Hanx,” read his tweet.

Dashboard Confessional‘s Chris Carrabba tweeted that he was “grasping for the right words” to say after learning of Schlesinger’s death.

Green Day‘s Billie Joe Armstrong also paid tribute to the late musician by covering ‘That Thing You Do’ as part of his  No Fun Mondays series of quarantine sessions back in 2020.

Back in 2023, Lauren Mayberry and Matthew Koma also teamed up for a collaborative live cover of ‘That Thing You Do’  during Mayberry’s gig at the Music Hall of Williamsburg in Brooklyn, New York.
