"So excited for this one night only event, back where it all began, in my hometown!”: REO Speedwagon reunite - six months after their supposed ‘final’ shows - but there's a catch

Bruce Hall.

Well, this is all a bit awkward. Just months after they played their supposed ‘final’ gigs, REO Speedwagon are reuniting for a one-off show. But the member who kept the band’s flag flying until the very end - lead vocalist Kevin Cronin - doesn’t seem to have been invited to the party.

Six former members of the band are playing in what is billed as a ‘retrospective’ charity concert in their hometown of Champaign, Illinois, on 14 June. Founder member Neal Doughty and bassist Bruce Hall are in the line-up, alongside original drummer Alan Gratzer, guitarist Steve Scorfina, rhythm guitarist Mike Murphy and the band’s original frontman, Terry Luttrell.
