As a passionate film buff, I was left stunned and shaken after hearing about the dramatic end to Journey’s live show in Texas. The talented drummer, Deen Castronovo, revealed the chilling reason behind their sudden exit from the stage.
The iconic ’80s rockers, famed for their hits Don’t Stop Believin’ and Any Way You Want It, were forced to halt their set during RadioHouston in Texas on Friday 14th March, when it was disrupted by an electrical fire.
The concert came to an unexpected halt after just five songs when the lights went out, and the music and visual effects stopped abruptly during a live rendition of Don’t Stop Believin’. This happened in front of an audience of 70,000 people at the venue.
As the audience persisted in singing along, thinking it was part of the act, members from the visiting team swiftly invaded the stage armed with fire extinguishers, targeting the area around the drums.
The event was then abruptly cancelled, with the crowd asked to evacuate.
On social media, Deen Castronovo, who has been a drummer with the band since 1998, shared pictures of the tech team crawling under the drum riser to try and observe the damage.
He wrote: “Hello, Houston! Tonight was an unexpected event from the heavens! A fire erupted beneath the stage, directly under where I was playing my drums!
“I was literally on fire for 4-and-a-half 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!”
The band have continued their other scheduled performances, appearing at Yaamava Resort and Casino in Highland, California, the next day.
Houston Rodeo’s official statement about the cancellation read: “Due to an unforeseen electrical incident under the stage area, we regretfully announce the cancellation of tonight’s Journey concert. We sincerely apologise to all fans for this disappointment.
“Our team is working diligently to assess the situation, and we will provide updates regarding rescheduling options and refunds as soon as possible.”
