JOURNEY
FORCED TO MAKE LEAD SINGER CHANGE ON NATIONWIDE TOUR
Jeff
Scott Soto to assume JOURNEY lead singer duties starting on July
7th in Bristow, VA
due to Steve Augeri throat infection
July 6, 2006 -- Due to
a chronic throat infection, Journey’s lead singer, Steve Augeri,
has been forced to leave the band’s current nationwide tour
with Def Leppard. Jeff Scott Soto, who has previously performed
with Journey guitarist Neal Schon, will assume the band’s
lead singer duties starting with the July 7th show in Bristow, VA.
Steve Augeri’s condition will be closely monitored by his
physician to determine when he may be able to rejoin the tour.
According to Journey,
“Steve’s been suffering with an acute throat condition
since before we kicked off the tour with Def Leppard. We were hoping
he’d be in well condition to handle the rigors of the road
but unfortunately it appears to be a chronic condition requiring
total voice rest. We all wish Steve a speedy recovery.”
