Styx’s Tommy Shaw and James Young say that there is no possibility of a reunion with former frontman Dennis DeYoung. “You get married when you’re young and everything’s rosy,” they told Dan Rather in an all-new episode of The Big Interview. “Then, as you start to get a little older, you realize you didn’t have that much in common and then you go through a tough divorce. We still have songs that we co-wrote together, and those are our children, and we’ve managed to find a way to keep those things in play.” “Personality-wise, at this stage in my life, I want to be happy” Shaw adds. “I want to be around people who love me and that have my best interest at heart, and I don’t have to fight with. There’s just not enough years left that I would want to risk not having that again.” Current frontman Lawrence Gowan, who took over for DeYoung, adds: “I hear the angst and the history that they had to live through as a band, and I’m respectful of that. I look at it as if we are a great band, and what’s made us great is that we are the culminations of the efforts of everyone who’s been in the band. Sometimes in life you need a blood transfusion. Although I’m Canadian, apparently I was a match.” The Big Interview airs Tuesday, April 17 at 9pm on AXS TV. Copyright(c) 2018 RTTNews.com. All Rights ReservedLess «
