Journey fans at RodeoHouston were shocked when the band's show was cut short on Friday night because of an electrical fire under the stage at NRG Stadium. The situation happened while the band was playing their famous song, "Don't Stop Believin'," which made the venue very quiet.
At first, lead singer Arnel Pineda waved toward the sound booth as the band walked off the stage, making it look like he didn't know what was happening. Soon after, a speaker told the crowd that the show had to end because of an electrical fire, and the stadium lights came on.
Fans kept singing the song's words, "It goes on and on and on and on," even after the abrupt ending. Eventually, their voices got lost in confusion. Crew members rushed the stage with fire extinguishers while stagehands got to work, which was caught on video.
In a statement, RodeoHouston organizers said they were sorry for the delay, which was caused by an "unexpected electrical incident." They also said they would keep people updated on news about rescheduling or refunds.
The Houston Fire Department got there quickly and extinguished the fire without hurting anyone. Journey has not yet said if they will change the date of their show.
The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo is known for having shows with famous people, so this kind of trouble has rarely happened.
Fans are still hoping for a possible rescheduled performance and a chance to finish the song the right way, since it's supposed to never end.
