Arnel Pineda apologizes publicly
American rock band Journey’s lead singer, Arnel Pineda, has issued an apology to the public following backlash against his performance at a recent music festival.
The group performed at the Rock in Rio Music Festival in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, with hits including “Don’t Stop Believing.”
A social media video footage of Pineda performing the hit song “Don’t Stop Believin'” from 1981 demonstrated how challenging the song’s high notes were for Pineda. Some admirers were disappointed by this.
On September 22, Pineda released a Facebook message apologizing to the disgruntled fans and thanking them for their ongoing support of the band. He also expressed regret for his singing style.
