Gary Richrath reunited with REO one final time for a performance of "Ridin' the Storm Out" to end REO's set at the sold-out concert. He stayed on stage to help with the encore of "[[With a Little Help From My Friends]]", along with Styx, Marx, and others.

On November 7, 2023, Hall announced he was taking a leave of absence from touring to prepare for and undergo back surgery for an accident he had a number of years earlier.

The announcement said that Hall had not sufficiently recovered from his back surgery the year before, and that the situation had led to irreconcilable differences between Cronin and Hall. Other posts on the band's Facebook page in the days leading up to the announcement said that Cronin had experienced illness and had undergone emergency surgery, resulting in cancelled tour dates. On December 21, 2024, Cronin confirmed that the show from that night was the last that would be performed under the REO Speedwagon moniker and the name would be retired. However, he would continue to play solo concerts with the same touring lineup and REO Speedwagon songs would still be performed.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://people.com/reo-speedwagon-played-final-show-will-continue-with-different-name-8765954 |title=REO Speedwagon Played Their Final Show as REO Speedwagon — and Will Continue with a Different Name |website=People.com |date=December 23, 2024 |access-date=December 23, 2024}}</ref>
