PRESS RELEASE
JOURNEY ANNOUNCES DEPARTURE OF JEFF SCOTT SOTO
June 12, 2007 -- Journey has parted ways with their recently named lead singer Jeff Scott Soto. Jeff’s first appearance with Journey was July 7, 2006 in Bristow, VA. He had been filling in for Steve Augeri, who had to leave the tour shortly after it began on June 23 due to illness. Jeff’s last performance was May 12, 2007 in Leesburg, VA.
According to guitarist Neal Schon, “We appreciate all of Jeff’s hard work and we can’t thank him enough for stepping in when Steve Augeri got sick last year. He did a tremendous job for us and we wish him the best. We’ve just decided to go our separate ways, no pun intended. We’re plotting our next move now."
Keyboardist Jonathan Cain continues, “We were lucky to have a friend who was already a Journey fan step in on a moment’s notice during the Def Leppard tour to help us out. Jeff was always the consummate professional and we hope that he remains a friend of the band in the future. We just felt it was time to go in a different direction.”
Journey--Neal Schon (guitar), Ross Valory (bass), Jonathan Cain (keyboards) and Deen Castronovo (drums)—is taking the rest of 2007 off to spend time with their families, write new songs and map out plans for 2008. --------------------------
Hmm...

Hey Spencer!!!! It's great to see you on here!!! So Journey needs a lead singer--are you thinking what the rest of us are thinking??!! Also, I saw in the paper that the Sopranos wanted "Don't Stop Believin'" at the end of the finale and Steve Perry wasn't going to let them use it if Tony got whacked during the song. I don't blame him. That's what everyone would think of from that moment on every time they heard that song. He's one of the chosen few who got to know what happened at the end before everyone else saw it. I've never seen the show but I thought that was interesting. (I can't stand the violence in gangster movies and shows but I LOVE "24"--go figure??!)
