Arnel Pineda is asking fans if they want him out of Journey

Apparently, Journey’s lead singer, Arnel Pineda, is sick and tired of hearing the criticism and he’s doing something about it. According to People, he’s inviting fans to vote him out of the band after being bashed for his performance at ‘Rock In Rio’ event in Brazil.

Plus, it’s not like this is something new. He’s been Journey’s singer now for 17 years! However, enough is enough and he’s tired of all the criticism about what’s being called his vocal failures. He said, “I am very aware of this. No one more than me in this world feels so devastated about this.
