During their Friday (3.14) show in Texas, Journey‘s drummer Deen Castronovo was “literally on fire.”
Five songs into their Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo 2025 set and while performing their biggest hit, ‘Don’t Stop Believin’, a fire broke out underneath the stage that forced the iconic pop rockers to quickly aport the show.
When the venue’s power and sound was immediately shut down mid-song, the fans continued singing the chorus before the gig was halted.
Addressing the impromptu debacle, the band’s drummer Deen Castronovo took to Instagram with:
“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! (sic)”
A formal statement from the event’s organizers read:
“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 refunds as soon as possible.”
As good fortune would have it, no one sustained any injuries from incident and Journey returned to the stage on Sunday (3.16) at the Yaamava’ Theater, in Highland, California.
