It might be time to stop believin’… but not just yet.
Journey have been rocking around the world for decades now, but they’ve announced plans to finally call it a day.
The group will play a series of live shows in North America from February 28 to July 2 next year, though they haven’t ruled out adding further concerts just yet, so a return to the UK is still a possibility.
“This tour is our heartfelt thank you to the fans who’ve been with us every step of the way – through every song, every era, every high and low,” said guitarist Neal Schon.
“We’re pulling out all the stops with a brand-new production – the hits, the deep cuts, the energy, the spectacle. It’s a full-circle celebration of the music that’s brought us all together.”
He added: “As its founding member, I carry the Journey torch to this day, wherever I go. The sentiment and spirit of the band will always remain
“While this marks a farewell to one powerful chapter of the Journey we’ve shared, I want everyone to know I’m not done.
“Music is still burning strong inside me, and there are new creative horizons ahead. This tour is both a thank you and the beginning of what’s next.”
The group have been through many lineup changes since they formed in 1973, but still feature co-founder and lead guitarist Neal Schon.
Journey’s current lineup is fronted by singer Arnel Pineda, who joined the group back in 2007.
It also features keyboard player and multi-instrumentalist Jonathan Cain, who joined the band in 1980.
The lineup is rounded out by drummer Deen Castronovo, bassist Todd Jensen and keyboardist Jason Derlatka.
