 Styx' new double live CD mirrors their double-LP A&M Records farewell Caught in the Act, replaying memories of their 1996 reunion tour at the Rosemont Horizon. The tour was delayed when when someone tried to poison Dennis DeYoung, apparently by putting bleach in his soda. And as if things weren't grim enough for original members of Styx, drummer John Panazzo died recently of cirrhosis of the liver. Volkswagen, though, has done a very humorous TV commercial utilizing the Styx song, "Mister Roboto." The band has been finishing up a new Styx album, Brave New World (CMC International) due during the summer of '99 (with Tommy Shaw, btw), but will apparently tour without Dennis DeYoung, who has been left photosensitive (he can't stand in bright lights) by a vicious mystery flu. With over 22 million albums sold over nearly fifteen years, including the hits "Lady" (Styx II), "Come Sail Away" (Grand Illusion), and Kilroy was Here, Styx will soon be releasing the long over due Greatest Hits Pt. 2 (on A&M Records). Though the band has broken up, members turn up regularly in Chicagoland solo music and even theatre endeavors. You can catch recordings by the James Young Group and Tommy Shaw on Absolute Records. The Stygians included Tommy Shaw (1954-), and Chicagoans Dennis DeYoug (February 18, 1947-), Chuck Panozzo (September 20, 1947), and James Young (November 14, 1948).
