Rock legends Journey were performing in Houston on Friday night, when a scary situation happened just as the group launched into their classic hit, “Don’t Stop Believin.’” The song was the band’s fifth of the night when suddenly the sound stopped. Band members left the stage and several people were seen with fire extinguishers around the drums.
An announcer said the gig had been canceled a short time later due to an electrical fire. Journey drummer Deen Castronovo posted: “Hey, Houston! An act of God tonight! Fire broke out underneath the stage—right under my drum riser! I was literally on fire for 4 ½ songs, all the power cables melted, and the show was a BUST! That doesn’t mean we won’t be back soon, because we love you all—and WE WILL RETURN! #dontstopbelievin God bless you all!”
Promoters of the show later shared: “Due to an unforeseen electrical incident under the stage area, we regretfully announce the cancellation of tonight’s Journey concert. We sincerely apologize to all fans for this disappointment. Our team is working diligently to assess the situation, and we will provide updates regarding rescheduling options and or refunds as soon as possible.”
