On December 20 and 21, the band played their final show at Las Vegas’ The Venetian Theatre under the REO Speedwagon moniker. At the December 21 show, Cronin said during a parting speech: “The REO Speedwagon name is being retired tonight.”
The group announced they will stop touring effective Jan. 1, 2025, owing to “irreconcilable differences” between frontman Kevin Cronin and bassist Bruce Hall.
However, band members Neal Doughty, Dave Amato, Bryan Hitt performed across all the tour dates.
“To our fans: Bruce has intended to be Back On the Road Again by now. If it were up to just him, he’d be back on tour… but it’s not up to just him,” the band’s Facebook post read. “The consensus opinion was that he had not recovered sufficiently to be able to perform at the level the fans have come to expect.”
Bruce respected that opinion and is grateful that Matt has been around to keep the Wagon rolling through the summer tour,” the statement went on. “Bruce never had any intention of retiring or walking away from the band, fans, and crew he has loved for almost 50 years.”
They added, “For Kevin’s part, he too has never had any intention of leaving the band, and the fans and crew mean the world to him, as well.”
“Due to this complex situation, irreconcilable differences arose between Bruce and Kevin. So, it is with great sadness that we announce REO Speedwagon will cease touring effective January 1, 2025.”
