NAACP Rockford Branch President Rhonda Greer said that she accepted what she considered a sincere apology from Gannon.
By Andy Gannon Verified| WIFR-TV (Rockford, IL) Verified ROCKFORD (WIFR) – The Rockford roots of Cheap Trick have spread. Lead Singer Robin Zander lives in Florida and bassist Tom Petersson has called Nashville home for the last 15 years. But 23 News Anchor Andy Gannon explains no matter the distance, the hometown boys still show loyalty to Rockford and Rick Nielsen. Robin Zander was not the original lead singer for Cheap Trick. Randy Hogan started with the band. “Kinda mutual. He left us to make $150 a week, when we weren’t,” says Nielsen.
