‘70s rock star selling his tropical hideaway in South Florida. Take a look
Styx co-founder and bassist Charles 'Chuck' Panozzo is selling his home in the artsy, hipster hamlet of Wilton Manors, near Fort Lauderdale.
The two-bedroom, three-bathroom, approximately 1,600-square-foot home was built in 1952 and looks more like a plush pad you'd find in Bali, not Broward.
Most of the unique amenities at this Zen tropical oasis aka 'La Serenidad,' are outside — think a lushly landscaped garden, multiple fountains, two koi ponds, and several gazebos, ideal for hot yoga, meditation or detoxing from your smartphone.
'A beautiful place where you can live the best of both worlds,' says the Zillow description. 'Every corner of the outdoor space is thoughtfully designed to unwind.'
It's unclear why the 76-year-old musician would ever want to leave this stunning sanctuary which he scooped up in 2007 for $305,000, but he doesn't appear to be retiring. The band the Chicago native cofounded, known for such hits as 'Come Sail Away,' 'Babe' and 'Mr Roboto,' is currently on tour, hitting Destin, Fla., on Oct. 9-11. Panozzo, who came out in 2001 and is HIV positive, still plays with Styx when he is physically able.
Juan Zapata and Susan Rindley of One Sotheby's International Realty have the listing.

REO Speedwagon man Kevin Cronin admits it's harder to sell tickets under his own name
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Kevin Cronin, who announced last year that he'd no longer be touring under the REO Speedwagon banner due to "irreconcilable differences" with longtime bassist Bruce Hall, has admitted that going out under his own name has not been as successful as he'd hoped. Cronin now leads the Kevin Cronin Band, who include two longtime members of REO Speedwagon in guitarist Dave Amato and drummer Bryan Hitt. They're currently playing with Styx and Don Felder on the Brotherhood of Rock tour, but the change of name has apparently made fans cautious. "This tour has been a delight, but not without its challenges," Cronin tells Ultimate Classic Rock. "It's not easy going out as the Kevin Cronin Band, I will tell you. You can't overestimate the power of the name REO Speedwagon and that ubiquitous, winged logo. They mean a lot to people. "I can sit here and say that the Kevin Cronin band is doing the same thing until I'm blue in the face, but when people see the Kevin Cronin Band, there's a question – 'I wonder what this is gonna be?' – whereas if you see REO Speedwagon and the winged logo on the bill, it's 'I know what that is.'" As a result, the Kevin Cronin Band will no longer be set up as a touring concern, and the band's crew will be available for other projects once their current commitments have been fulfilled. Cronin has cancelled two September shows in Evans, GA and Mobile, AL, as well as a date with Styx in Sparks, NV, next April. He will, however, honour his booking aboard the next sailing of the Rock Legends Cruise, which departs from Fort Lauderdale, FL, in February 2026. "My plan was always to keep the organisation together, " he continues. "But there are challenges around that are just overwhelming and I couldn't promise the crew that I could afford to keep them. Again, as REO Speedwagon, no problem. "For REO Speedwagon to book dates this coming autumn or winter would be no problem, but that's just not available to me (as the Kevin Cronin Band). Believe me, we tried, and it's way more challenging than I was hoping it would be." This might sound like Cronin is hoping to steer a path back towards REO Speedwagon, but he'll have to convince Bruce Hall, who was replaced on REO Speedwagon's final tour by session man Matt Bissonette after reportedly failing to recover fully from back surgery. "Neal and I never voted to 'bring the curtain down," Hall tells UCR, referring to keyboardist Neal Doughty, who retired from live work at the end of the tour. "We voted for REO to continue with the 2023 lineup that included me. Kevin is who didn't agree and withdrew from REO Speedwagon, choosing to go solo under his own name." The next date on the Brotherhood Of Rock tour is this evening at the Budweiser Stage in Toronto, ON. Remaining dates below. Brotherhood Of Rock tour Aug 13: Toronto Budweiser Stage, ONAug 15: Noblesville Ruoff Music Center, INAug 16: Clarkston Pine Knob Music Theatre, MIAug 19: Cincinnati Riverbend Music Center, OHAug 20: Cuyahoga Falls Blossom Music Center, OHAug 22: Maryland Heights Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre, MOAug 23: Tinley Park Credit Union 1 Amphitheatre, ILAug 24: Milwaukee American Family Insurance Amphitheater, WI Tickets are on sale now.

Chappell Roan Earns Her First No. 1 Debut
Chappell Roan's new single "The Subway" was one of the most highly anticipated pop releases of the year. Now that it's here, fans have wasted no time turning it into a global success. The track opens in high positions on charts in several countries and races to No. 1 in the United Kingdom, where the Grammy winner has quickly become one of the most exciting newcomers in recent memory. Chappell Roan's Second Career No. 1 "The Subway" launches atop the Official Singles chart. That tally ranks the most popular tunes in the U.K. regardless of genre, length, or language, and it uses a methodology that blends both sales and streaming activity. Roan earns her second career No. 1 on the main songs tally across the Atlantic as "The Subway" debuts. She previously ruled the ranking with "Pink Pony Club," which spent two weeks at No. 1 earlier in 2025. Seven U.K. Hits, Five Top 10s Throughout her career, Roan has pushed seven tracks to the Official Singles chart, and all but two have reached the top 10. A pair of cuts narrowly missed the summit, as both "Good Luck, Babe!" — her first charting smash — and "The Giver," her most recent release before "The Subway," stalled at No. 2. 'Pink Pony Club' Took Six Months to Hit No. 1 Unlike "The Subway," "Pink Pony Club" took a long route to No. 1 on the Official Singles chart. The track, featured on her debut album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, entered the tally in September 2024. It didn't reach the top until March 2025, after Roan turned the fan favorite into a global smash via a high-profile performance at the 2025 Grammy Awards. Chappell Roan Also Leads the Streaming List As "The Subway" starts at No. 1 on the Official Singles chart, it also lands on three other U.K. rankings. The track rules the Official Streaming roster, while it opens at No. 3 on both the Official Singles Sales and Official Singles Downloads tallies.
