RonJonSurfer Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 Journey Switches Singers as Frontman Falls Ill "Steve (Augeri) has been suffering with an acute throat condition..." Rockers Journey are switching singers midway through the group's joint tour with Def Leppard after frontman Steve Augeri was sidelined with a throat infection. Jeff Scott Soto, who has been a longtime friend of Journey's Neal Schon, will take over frontman duties for the time being. Augeri is expected to rejoin the tour when he's feeling better. A spokeswoman for the group says, "Steve's been suffering with an acute throat condition since before we kicked off the tour with Def Leppard." "We were hoping he'd be well enough to handle the rigors of the road but, unfortunately, it appears to be a chronic condition, requiring total voice rest. We all wish Steve a speedy recovery."
