Billy told The Rockpit: “We wanted to do a proper farewell, and this seems like the right way to do it.”
Paul added: “We’re in the process of making sure we come up with a suitably big entertainment extravaganza to go along with our music.
“And since our music has resonated so wonderfully in places all over the world, we’re going to play in as many of those places as we can.”
The band is best known for hits including To Be With You, which reached number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 in 1991.
Revealing that Nick D’Virgilio will step in for Pat on drums for the tour, Billy added: “Nick has a vocal range similar to Pat’s, and he’ll be able to do the parts Pat did with a similar finesse.
“It’s a big relief because Mr. Big has always been heavy on the harmonies. When the band began, we really relied on each other.”
