Түүний оронд Стив Мёрфи арваннэгдүгээр сарын үлдсэн тоглолтуудад оролцоно.
Journey хамтлагийн олон жилийн бөмбөрчин Дин Кастроново хувийн эрүүл мэндийн асуудалдаа анхаарахын тулд хамтлагаасаа холдохоор шийджээ. Хамтлаг Instagram хуудсандаа нийтэлсэн мэдэгдэлдээ түүнийг бүрэн дэмжиж байгаагаа илэрхийлж, фенүүдийнх нь хайр, урам зориг, халуун сэтгэлд талархсан байна.
Кастроновогийн оронд Стив Мёрфи арваннэгдүгээр сарын үлдсэн хугацаанд тоглоно. Мёрфи Alan Parsons Project, Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Кристофер Кросс, Жек Брюс зэрэг уран бүтээлчидтэй хамтран ажиллаж байжээ.
Энэ шийдвэр Кастроново Талса хотод болсон тоглолтын үеэр эмнэлгийн яаралтай тусламж авч, эмнэлэгт хүргэгдсэнээс сарын дараа гарчээ. Тэрээр хоёр хоногийн дараа Сан-Антониод болсон тоглолтод эргэн оролцсон бөгөөд өвчнийх нь талаар хамтлаг болон хөгжимчин дэлгэрэнгүй мэдээлээгүй байна.
62 настай Кастроново 1998 онд Journey-д нэгдэж, таван цомог дээр нь ажилласныхаа дараа 2015 онд хамтлагаас гарч, 2021 онд эргэн элссэн. Journey одоогоор сүүлчийн аялан тоглолт хэмээн сурталчилж буй аялан тоглолтынхоо төгсгөлийн хэсгийг үргэлжлүүлж байгаа бөгөөд Сан-Францискод арваннэгдүгээр сард өндөрлүүлэхээр төлөвлөжээ; хамтлаг энэ жил 100 гаруй тоглолт хийх юм.

Deen Castronovo, the longtime drummer for American rock outfit Journey, has stepped away from the group to address personal health issues.
Established in 1973, the band’s line-up includes Neal Schon, Jonathan Cain, Arnel Pineda, Jason Derlatka and Todd Jensen. Castronovo first joined in 1998.
In a statement published to Instagram, Journey wrote: “Dear Friends. After careful consideration and an extensive year of touring, our talented, longtime drummer Deen Castronovo has decided to step away to focus on personal health matters that require his attention.
“He has our full support during this time and extends his heartfelt thanks to the fans for the love, encouragement and kindness he has received.”
Steve Murphy, who has previously collaborated with artists including Alan Parsons Project, Trans Siberian Orchestra, Christopher Cross and Jack Bruce, will replace him.
He will be joining Journey for the remainder of November.
Concluding the statement, the band added: “We look forward to continuing to share unforgettable nights of music with all of you.”
The decision comes a month after Castronovo suffered a medical emergency during a show in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and was taken to hospital.
He returned two nights later for a show in San Antonio.
Neither the band nor Castronovo have disclosed details of the illness.

Castronovo, 62, first joined Journey in 1998, working on five albums with the band before being fired in 2015.
He later rejoined in 2021. The drummer is also known for being a member of Bad English and Hardline, while he has also played for Ozzy Osbourne, Steve Vai, Paul Rodgers and GZR, with Black Sabbath’s Geezer Butler.
Journey had their biggest commercial success between 1978 and 1987 when Steve Perry was lead vocalist – releasing a series of hit songs including “Don’t Stop Believin’”.
They are next due to play a show on Saturday night in Greenville, South Carolina. The band is currently on the final leg of what is being promoted as their farewell tour, culminating in a homecoming concert in San Francisco in November.
“I’m sure it’s going to be somewhat emotional because that’s where it all started,” Schon told The Associated Press in August. “I know the audience is going to be off the hook.”
The tour’s closing performance in San Francisco will round out more than 100 concerts this year, with the group frequently playing for more than two hours.
“Don’t Stop Believin’,” which was certified 18-times platinum in 2024, has had many resurgences over the years, thanks to the cut-to-black finale of The Sopranos, the TV show Glee, and Brad Pitt movie Moneyball.
