===The 2010s===
For its 2010 and 2012 summer tours, the band was once again paired with [[Chicago (band)|Chicago]], as it had been in 1974, 1999, and 2008.

In 2010, Skylark resigned from the band after suffering a stroke. [[John Cowan]], who had originally toured with the band in the mid-1990s, returned to take Skylark's place, and has been with the band ever since. Three months later, before the band embarked on its 2010 summer tour with Chicago, Hossack was forced to sit out following a diagnosis of cancer. Tony Pia, a member of the [[Brian Setzer Orchestra]], was recruited to substitute for Hossack. Pia became an official touring member of the band following Hossack's death in 2012.

The Doobie Brothers released their 13th studio album, ''[[World Gone Crazy (The Doobie Brothers album)|World Gone Crazy]]'', helmed by their longtime producer Ted Templeman, in 2010. ''World Gone Crazy'' was the first Doobie Brothers album Templeman produced since ''[[One Step Closer (The Doobie Brothers album)|One Step Closer]]'' in 1980. The album's first single, "Nobody", was free-streamed on their website.<ref name="The Doobie Brothers official website">{{cite web|url=http://www.doobiebros.com |title=The Official Website |publisher=Doobie Brothers |access-date=July 20, 2011}}</ref>
