During their conversation, Zander mentioned that the title currently under consideration is All Washed Up. He expressed enthusiasm about the album, stating: “I’ll have to send it to you.

When asked if the band plans to debut any of their new tracks during forthcoming performances, Zander clarified: “We won’t be doing that.

Upon the release of their 20th album, record label BMG praised the band, stating: “In Another World sees Cheap Trick doing what they do better than anyone – crafting indelible rock ‘n’ roll with oversized hooks, mischievous lyrics, and seemingly inexorable energy.” This recognition underscores the band’s enduring impact and ability to create memorable music that resonates with fans old and new.

Cheap Trick Plans an Emotional Farewell Tour in Japan

The iconic rock band from Rockford, Illinois, Cheap Trick, is reportedly gearing up for a heartfelt farewell tour in Japan later this year. While specific details remain scarce, this tour is anticipated to mark the conclusion of a remarkable five-decade-long relationship with a country that played a significant role in propelling the band’s success.

Prior to their breakthrough, the band had released three studio albums in the U.S. that received little recognition. However, everything changed with the release of Cheap Trick at Budokan in 1978, which was originally intended for a Japan-only audience but ultimately secured their acclaim in their native country. This album not only solidified their status but also introduced their unique sound to a broader audience, paving the way for their future successes.
