How jealously got Steve Maggiora fired from Toto (IS IT TRUE?)
As we all know, on May 5th, 2024 it was made confirmed that Steve Maggiora was no longer in The Effect. Maggs would do this to be able to focus on Toto more. Maggiora would go on to do his last show with Toto on May 8th, 2024. Which went well. However. On June 15th, 2024 when promoting the new Toto lineup, he (Maggiora) was not present in the photo, making it clear he was no longer in the band and was booted out. With no explanation or brief answering posted. However. Rumors started within the first 3 weeks on how this came about. And after a lot of research and sources I’ve came to the conclusion (not official but my opinion) that Steve Maggiora was fired / let go from Toto, here’s how.
Maggiora was in charge of Toto’s social media. Gathering clips, footages and posting on the account. With majority of the clips being of himself or barely other members. Which pissed off Steve (Lukather). Some came to the conclusion it was hogging spotlight or just that the others didn’t care to much about being on camera - when Luke saw that Maggs left the Effect to focus on Toto, that was the true end point. As he felt Maggs betraying his (Luke’s) son Trev was not going to slide. And decided to let Maggs go.
I also feel like Maggs being probably the best singer on that stage (my opinion), made Luke jealous as he was always constantly scream singing and having solo parts during songs and over shadowing Joe, Warren & Greg. And Luke himself.
Conclusion: Do you think Maggs was fired? Or do you think this is all a theory and Maggs left freely without being fired or asked to be let go.
