We know you (really, truly) wanted to start the new year off right. You wanted to rise and shine early, go for a jog 'round your 'hood, and sink your teeth into a homemade breakfast of egg whites and whole wheat pancakes — that you made yourself, of course.
But instead, when you rolled over to groggily peer at your iPhone, the clock said 8:42 a.m., and the realization quickly hit you — you were going to have to scramble something other than eggs.
What happened to 6 a.m.? Better yet, what happened to your iPhone alarm?
Well, 2011 happened, that's what. And your iPhone got glitched. Again.
It seems that alarms on Apple's beloved iPhone failed to chime this weekend after the calendar page flipped from 2010 to 2011. But who was waking up with any regularity on Saturday or Sunday anyway? Ringing alarms would only agitate the hangover.
The good news is that the glitch affects one-time alarms, so for now, set all your alarms as recurring to Band-Aid the situation. (Word is that you can also delete your preset alarms and create new ones, but we're not putting our money on that one yet.)
Sure, you may be hitting snooze a lot more often, but at least you'll have a shot at sticking with that run-before-work resolution without your gadgetry already thwarting it in the first week of the first month of the new year.
Legendary rockers Styx and Kevin Cronin, lead singer of REO Speedwagon, will team up to co-headline the “Brotherhood of Rock” tour in 2025, which will include a stop at The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in The Woodlands on Friday, June 6.
The large, 40-city tour will take place over three months, starting in Greenville, South Carolina on May 28, and wrapping up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on August 24.
In addition to Houston, the tour will go to Austin on June 4 and Dallas on August 1. It will include special guest Don Felder, former lead guitarist for the Eagles, at all dates.
Fans can expect some of the greatest rock anthems of all time, including “Renegade,” “Keep On Loving You,” “Come Sail Away,” “Can't Fight This Feeling,” and “Hotel California.”
Styx and Cronin (as part of REO Speedwagon) first toured together in 2000 and in 2001 after the 9/11 attacks, coming together to form the Rock to the Rescue 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. This will mark their sixth time joining forces on the road.
2022 was the 50th anniversary of Styx's self-titled debut album, but they have yet to slow down. The band released their 17th album, Crash of the Crown, in 2021. Of course, not everyone is a fan, as this classic clip from The Simpsons illustrates.
REO Speedwagon's recording days appear to be done, with their last album coming out in 2009, but the main group of five has been together since 1989. On this tour, Cronin will be joined by REO's lead guitarist Dave Amato and drummer Bryan Hitt.
General tickets for the tour will go on sale starting on Friday, December 13 at 10 am at LiveNation.com.
Citi cardmembers will have access to presale tickets in the U.S. beginning on December 9 at 10 am through the Citi Entertainment program.
Styx and Kevin Cronin will be offering VIP packages via their own exclusive pre-sales beginning on Tuesday, December 10 at 10 am, as well as at LiveNation.com.
