On our latest show, we welcome Go-Go's' Charlotte Caffey and Gina Schock! We caught up with the ladies as they were preparing to head out on the road for the band's Farewell Tour, which launched Tuesday (Aug. 2). The trek travels across the U.S. through August and concludes on Aug. 30 in Los Angeles at the Greek Theatre. We chatted with Caffey and Schock backstage at the Billboard Music Awards in May, where they discussed why this tour is a "farewell," if we might hear new music on the road, and what surprises they might spring on audiences.
