On October 24, 2022, Gregg Philbin, a former bassist for REO Speedwagon who performed on the group’s first six studio albums and 1977’s Live: You Get What You Play For, passed away.His reason of death is still unknown. However, the tribute given by the band’s previous singer gave some indication that he had been ill for some time.Kevin Cronin, the band’s frontman, paid tribute to his former bandmate in a statement posted by the group. Nobody should undervalue the Philbin Factor’s influence on REO Speedwagon’s development, Cronin argued in his essay.The lengthy instrumental portion, which had a prog-leaning, was taken with Gregg when he left the band in 1977.All things considered, Gregg was a wise, amusing, and endearing guy, and it would be difficult to find someone more astute, he added. His health has been a problem for a while, but today his soul has been set free.Thanks for reading from Ghsplash a news publishing website from Ghana.
