June 16, 2015

The power rock trio has embarked on their “R40 Live” Tour, celebrating four decades of impassioned performances and astounding music. And according to the members this could be their last hurrah. The Rock n Roll Hall of Famers are ready to bid farewell in a grand style and will be travelling to almost 30 North American cities.
