As per today’s announcement, Ministry‘s live lineup for that run will include:

Bass: Paul D’Amour (ex-Tool)
Keyboards: John Bechdel (ex-Fear Factory, etc.)

Guitarist Sin Quirin announced his exit from Ministry last month, over a year after several accusations of him having conducted sexual relationships with underage girls emerged. Those incidents are alleged to have occurred prior to his time in Ministry.
