At Least I Got To See Him...A bad piece of news for you Journey fans.
Journey will have a new lead singer on its summer tour with Def Leppard while Steve Augeri recovers from a throat infection.There should be more info coming at Journey's website.
Jeff Scott Soto, who has performed with Journey guitarist Neal Schon, will step in for Augeri starting with a show Friday in Bristow, Va.
"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," the band said in a statement Thursday.
You can check out Jeff Scott Soto at his website, as well. He sang on two of Yngwie Malmsteen's solo albums, so I'm guessing he's got some pipes.
Apparently, he also lent his voice to the good bad movie "Rock Star". He's the "STAND UP AND SHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUT!!!" guy.
It looks like he's ready for this gig, since his website features a video of him performing Journey's "Who's Crying Now" live...
