JOURNEY SINGER QUITS

Rockers JOURNEY are on the look out for yet another frontman following JEFF SCOTT SOTO's departure.

Soto stepped in for the band when a sick Steve Augeri quit the group last year (06), but now he has become part of rock history after announcing he has left the band yesterday (12Jun07).

Soto's first appearance with Journey was in July, 2006. His last show was last month (12May07).

Journey guitarist Neal Schon says, "We appreciate all of Jeff's hard work and we can't thank him enough for stepping in when Steve Augeri got sick last year.

"He did a tremendous job for us and we wish him the best. We've just decided to go our separate ways... We're plotting our next move now."

The group has enlisted a Journey fan to temporarily front them for the remaining dates on their U.S. tour with Def Leppard.

Journey are back in the headlines thanks to their 1981 rock anthem Don't Stop Believin' which was played at the end of The Sopranos finale on TV in America on Sunday night (11Jun07).
