Toto to Replace Billy Idol on All Journey Tour Dates

Billy Idol has taken a step back from his upcoming tour with Journey, as he reports needing surgery for a chronic sinus infection.

“I am absolutely gutted that I won’t be able to perform the upcoming dates with Journey as planned,” Idol said in a statement.

Initially, the rocker was set to begin the Freedom Tour with Journey on February 22nd through April 5th, and then Toto would take over as the supporting performer for the remainder of the tour. Toto will now open the entire tour, from February 22nd through May 11th.
