According to Bandwagon, Japanese band ONE OK ROCK was originally scheduled for an Asia tour this year but it was cancelled due to the pandemic.

"Open Arms" is a track from Journey's album "Escape" and has been sung by several international artists including Mariah Carey, Boyz II Men, and Celine Dion.

Last May, Arnel and his band Journey welcomed three new members as they performed their hit song "Don't Stop Believin'" for a UNICEF event on Saturday.

Lead guitarist Neal Schon announced the return of former "American Idol" judge Randy Jackson, who previously served as the band's bassist. —Jannielyn Ann Bigtas/JCB, GMA News
