Arnel out of Journey?

Seeing this would piss me off if I were Neal and Jon. A 3 hour set over 60+ dates is very demanding even if Deen and Jason sing a few so there is no way in hell I would let my singer fly back home 2 weeks before the tour starts to play a show and put that added strain on his voice.

I doubt AP is going from the US to back home for this show. I don't think he is coming stateside until after this show. Neal said he has been rehearsing with Deen. I assume most of the deeper Perry cuts (if any) will be handled by Deen - just like the 30th anniversary shows. AP will probably just stick to the dirty dozen.

It appears that Arnel has a concert in the Philippines on February 13th.
Shouldn't he be in Journey rehearsals by then?

He doesn’t sing without enhancements and possibly uses backing tracks. No need to worry

Arnel confirms he's touring with Journey in 2026 (and 2027 also, in response to someone asking about having a show in Arizona)

Good news. Let's hope for a successful drama-free tour.
