Former Styx frontman Dennis DeYoung will celebrate one of the band's career milestones with a series of tour dates commemorating the 40th anniversary of their classic The Grand Illusion LP.The shows, which DeYoung has dubbed the Grand Illusion 40th Anniversary Album Tour, begin Feb. 9 in Wausau, Wis., and are currently scheduled to run through late May, when he's booked to perform in Concord, N.H. Promising to perform the complete Grand Illusion LP as well as "all the hits," DeYoung has already shared his excitement for reliving what he's described as "Styx's greatest achievement."
"I formulated the theme behind the Grand Illusion album after observing how American culture creates illusions through advertising and entertainment to convince us that our lives our lacking, in order to sell products," DeYoung said. "I told the audience that we were part of the Illusion and warned them not to be 'fooled by the radio,' which was us, and that in the end, despite the illusions and hype created, that 'deep inside we’re all the same.'"
