Journey has officially canceled their 2020 North American tour as a result of the COVID-19.

In a statement the band said:
“There is no greater thrill for us than playing for our incredibly devoted audience, but their safety must come first,” declared a joint statement released by the group. “Having seen what the world has endured during the last 45 days, and not knowing what the rest of this year or 2021 will bring, we knew the right thing to do was to make sure our fans’ health was not put in jeopardy and to provide immediate access to refund options given the unexpected events caused by this terrible virus.”

The tour which was slated to start on May 15th in Washington was supposed to have 60 dates.
