Kevin Cronin of REO Speedwagon adds, "We love our fans. We love you all so much that we are teaming up with our buddies Def Leppard for a big time high energy summer rock tour. Between us and the Lepps we have a ton of hits, we bring it every night, and we love to play live. It's gonna be a blast."
