Page "Dennis DeYoung" Paragraph 15

Though DeYoung and his bandmates had been able to put their musical and personal differences aside during the " Return to Paradise " tour, the same problems resurfaced once work started on Brave New World.

A chronic fatigue syndrome-like disorder affecting DeYoung's trigeminal nerve — which left him overly sensitive to bright light and sound, making performing on stage nearly impossible — further complicated matters, and eventually led to DeYoung being replaced by Canadian star Lawrence Gowan in 1999.

A lawsuit between DeYoung and his former bandmates was settled in 2001, with the group being allowed to keep the name " Styx " and DeYoung able to use the name in descriptive phrases such as " the music of Styx " or " formerly of Styx " ( but not " the voice of Styx ").

When asked about any possible reunions with DeYoung, James Young of Styx commented on an edition of Behind the Music " maybe when they are playing hockey on the river Styx " and on an episode of VH1's Feuds 2000 " as The Eagles said ' when Hell freezes over '".

However, in 2007, when asked about the possibility of DeYoung returning to Styx, Chuck Panozzo told tampabay. com, " Before any more of us die, I would hope that it could happen.

Every year that it doesn't happen is another year that goes by.

And if you wait too long, who will care?
