In a new interview with Billboard, REO Speedwagon vocalist/guitarist Kevin Cronin speaks out for the first time about the split of his classic rock band. The final performance under the REO Speedwagon moniker is set to take place on December 21 at the Venetian in Las Vegas. Cronin will continue to tour, making his solo debut on January 25 in Oklahoma, before taking part in next summer’s Brotherhood of Rock Tour with Styx and former Eagles guitarist Don Felder. But the remaining members of the band decided that the REO name should no longer be used. “Never in my wildest dreams did I ever see this coming,” Cronin said. “I didn’t want to end REO Speedwagon. This is sad, and I would do anything in my power to continue (as) REO Speedwagon. I never quit the band. I just got outvoted and…have to stop calling it REO Speedwagon at the end of this year.” REO founding member Neal Doughty and bassist Bruce Hall voted to dissolve the band name back in September.
