Journey is the latest act to cancel their 2020 tour, saying “safety must come first” amid the coronavirus pandemic.
NEW YORK —
The rock band was supposed to kick off their new tour on May 15 but announced Monday that they would no longer hit the road. Band members said they decided to cancel the tour, instead of postponing it, so that concertgoers would qualify for immediate refunds.“There is no greater thrill for us than playing for our incredibly devoted audience, but their safety must come first,” Journey’s Arnel Pineda, Neal Schon and Jonathan Cain said in a joint statement Monday.
“Having seen what the world has endured during the last 45 days, and not knowing what the rest of this year or 2021 will bring, we knew the right thing to do was to make sure our fans’ health was not put in jeopardy and to provide immediate access to refund options given the unexpected events caused by this terrible virus,” they said.
