'They Stopped Everything': Journey Concert Ends up in Hospitalization, Sources Say

Journey delayed the concert for 20 minutes after Castronovo fell ill, and Neal Schon said the band’s drum tech filled in as he went to the hospital.

  • On Thursday, Journey drummer Deen Castronovo suffered a medical emergency just two songs into the band's performance at the BOK Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, forcing a pause during their Final Frontier Tour.
  • Keyboardist Jonathan Cain addressed the crowd following the sudden exit, asking fans for prayers and stating, "We're going to see what happens as this progresses."
  • Guitarist Neal Schon later returned to the stage, confirming Castronovo was en route to the hospital; drum tech Steve Toomey filled in after a 20-minute delay to complete the performance.
  • Lead singer Arnel Pineda and Schon dedicated the remainder of the show to their bandmate, though Journey has not yet issued an official statement regarding Castronovo's current condition.
  • The band is scheduled to perform on Saturday, October 10, at the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Texas, continuing their Final Frontier Tour despite Thursday's disruption.
