REO Speedwagon announces retirement from touring due to 'irreconcilable differences' between Bruce Hall and Kevin Cronin. The band announced their departure from the stage in a social media statement on Monday shortly following the conclusion of their summer tour with Train where bassist Bruce Hall was notably absent due to recovery from back surgery. Frontman Kevin Cronin also missed his fair share of performances due to undisclosed health issues of his own over the last month. The statement addresses the absence of both band members claiming that it was neither of their intentions to step away long term, but due to recent differences they feel it is in their best interest to call it quits. They write, 'Neal, Kevin, and Bruce thank their fans for all their years of loyal support and for giving back to the band such wonderful memories that will remain with each of them forever.'
