Chicago’s Lee Loughnane pays tribute to Walt Parazaider before launching into “Hard Habit To Break”

Original Chicago member Lee Loughnane delivered a deeply heartfelt tribute to founding member Walter Parazaider—who passed away last month—sharing how much he missed his late friend, reassuring the crowd that Walter would want them to carry on, and declaring that the band isn't going anywhere! That emotional moment served as the perfect segue into their smash '80s hit "Hard Habit to Break," delivered through an incredible duet between newest tenor voice Rudy Cardenas and the soulful Eric Baines, with the amazing violins of The CoverGirls bringing David Foster's iconic arrangement to life. Lee really knows how to find talent—this entire lineup is overflowing with energy and skill, and as a younger fan, I’m so grateful to him for keeping Chicago going so we can enjoy them for years to come! #chicagotheband #chicago #leeloughnane #walterparazaider #chicago #styx #80smusic #lovesong #davidfoster #thewindycitiestour #yachtrock
