Just finished updating my biography of REO Speedwagon, who became worldwide superstars in 1980 with their ten million U.S. selling blockbuster, Hi Infidelity, after spending over 10 years releasing albums and touring endlessly. They came out of the Illinois rock scene and played a standard version of energetic mid western rock before perfecting the formula for a power ballad, which gave them to number one million selling hit singles. The band survived numerous lineup changes throughout their career but remain one of America’s most enjoyable live acts as of 2020. Discover all the details of their long rise to fame and subsequent success, through their record sale decline to the present day status as one of America’s best nostalgia rock acts in the artist biography section.
