Berlin show - Cancelled due to a Medical Emergency

[NealIsGod]

Word is it's Deen.

That's not good.

Didn't he have some stress issues a while back during the Soul Sirkus days? Burning the candle at both ends?

Yeah, he had to back out of SS due to exhaustion, which is why there are two versions of the CD - one with him on drums and one with Virgil Donati.

I don't know why it was thought to be Deen, but that's who was being discussed on Arnel's site. But it had not been officially confirmed.. Arnel left a message he was okay earlier. Someone is trying to get in contact with him and confirm who it was.

Arnel would be best not to take those calls. he doesn't want to be taken out of context on this issue (and it will happen). He's not the leader of the band anyway, it's not his place to say who it is.

Here we go with the 'leader of the band' thing....You know what? Neal is too fucking dumb to lead anything. Let him stick to what he knows best - marriage/divorce, and playing his axe. Let someone higher on the evolutionary chart handle the PR...and by all accounts Arnel seems to be the pick of the litter.

Well, I'm sure that's why he just left a message that it wasn't him and nothing else. I missed the first part of the conversation and don't know why it's thought to be Deen. I pray it's nothing serious and just exhaustion or dehydration or something like that. I remember how they said that the Paris gig was so hot Neal was surprised no one passed out during the concert on stage.

Whatever. He is the leader of the band, and the band is doing pretty damn good.

LOL, yea but let EVERYbody first speculate (and in the case of some of us assholes PRAY) someone OD'd, break the popcorn out and watch the thread annex bandwith by the minute.

Is it really the time for this?

Plus for all we know it could be Neal unwell

It's already happening.

And journeymusic.com is probably about to crash from all the refreshing, waiting for a news update that isn't going to come.

Maybe it's just a case of bad Schnitzel.

Don't twist my words....my comment was in reference to him being a 'leader'. I wish NOBODY any harm.

Unbelievable the # of people who apparently WANT this to be something involving drugs or alcohol, transparently prefacing with bogus "I hope it's not"s

Me too....it's not the time...chill till we know how ill the person is...a little respect here is needed

[Don]

Here's a heart attack waiting to happen. Go ahead and down a few of these

[fredinator]

Would Twitter have news about the band first?

Only if the band wants it to get out or someone in the hospital does it without approval.

Damn that looks good,I hope whoever is sick gets well soon

[Jana]

I think what I've now read it is Deen. But I have to head back to work and can't check further into what's wrong. Also, Lori is online on Journey site. Maybe she will blog something.

[Enigma869]

Ross...?
he's been looking pretty frail the past few weeks

Ross has looked "frail" for 35 years!

Yeah, you're right. It's Deen. Let's hope the best for Mr. Castronova.

From the blog of Lori Carpenter

" All should be fine with Deen; we all are hoping for a speedy recovery and on behalf of JRNY, Thanks for all the well wishes"

[Jana]

NEAL'S BLOG:

Sorry everybody but Deen went into the hospital early this morning for chest pains and heard he's doing fine but the Doctors wanted to keep him over night to evaluate him and do more test . Were hopeful that he will be good to go tomorrow. Were very sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused anyone traveling to the show...
Will keep you up dated...

I hope they make doubly sure he's COMPLETELY out of the woods. A guy where I work had a heart attack 2 weeks ago. They took him to the hospital where he recovered. After a week and a half, they were ready to discharge him. He died that day as he was getting ready to leave the hospital. Fairly young guy too.

[Tito]

Word is it's Deen.

According to a Berlin friend, it was him. A heart problem of some sort.

I hope he's ok. I like Deen and he is a good person (no bullshit, I'm being serious this time).

If it puts him out of commission for awhile, call Mugs.

[Since 78]

Prayers for Deen,
