On Sunday (June 15), REO Speedwagon singer Terry Luttrell miraculously survived a car crash after he fell asleep at the wheel. The accident occurred just a day after the band’s farewell show at the State Farm Center in Illinois, and Luttrell’s car was totaled in the incident. “I was able to get up and get out of the car,” the 78-year-old Luttrell told The News-Gazette. “The airbag went off and cracked my sternum a little bit. I have a little back pain and neck pain. It’s nothing that can’t be overcome.” Luttrell admited that his busy schedule, including signing autographs for fans until the early hours and getting little sleep before driving, contributed to him nodding off. He was taken to Carle Foundation Hospital in Urbana, Ill. for treatment following the incident, and is reported to be on the road to recovery. In September 2024, REO Speedwagon announced that they would stop touring in 2025 due to “irreconcilable differences” between frontman Kevin Cronin and bassist Bruce Hall. (People)
