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.

I think people need to calm the fuck down until both Journey and JSS let us know what happened.

Does anyone (Andrew, Jeff) want to give the correct statement?

I can tell you right now that statement is 100% BULLSHIT.

Apparently from what Jeff just said, he doesn't know much either. Find that ironic? I do.

Go on then Deano.

You were quite happy to give the real story before.

You can do it again. I'm sure everyone would like to know exactly why singer number 3 has been booted.

Amen, Niggy!

I'm somewhat surprised at everyone's reaction to this - especially because of what happened a year ago. Kinda sad when you really think about it.
