The Styx and REO Speedwagon Live & UnZoomed Tour had a little blip when special guest Loverboy had to skip four shows due to a bandmember contracting COVID. But REO kept their music alive by adding “Working For the Weekend” to their set.
REO singer Kevin Cronin says they had “so much fun playing and singing the song [they] may have to leave it in [their] set even when Loverboy returns. Maybe bands can be like baseball teams, and trade songs. Maybe Loverboy could do ‘Ridin the Storm Out.’ That seems like a good trade…
“I wonder if Styx would take ‘Keep Pushin” in a trade for ‘Blue Collar Man’…I love singing that song!
Loverboy will be back when the tour hits the Hartford Healthcare Amphitheater in Bridgeport September 16th.
