FROM TMZ: Journey Drummer Deen Castronovo — Charged with Raping Wife | B#ixzz3eYanXoaB
Deen Castronovo‘s recent arrest for domestic violence is much worse than we thought … he’s now been charged with rape … TMZ has learned.
The Journey drummer had been arrested earlier this month for domestic violence related charges involving his wife, but now the D.A. has added new charges — rape, sexual abuse, coercion and unlawful use of a weapon.
Castronovo is being held without bail in Marion County, Oregon.
Journey booted Castronovo from its tour following his initial arrest.
Castronovo is due in court Tuesday.

Richie Sambora …FIRED
Not only from the current tour but from the band. According to one website he was paid 2 million a month to tour and he wasn’t even touring. I would have showed up 30 minutes early every night for that kind of money…
So much for being there forever and a day. After 30 years as lead guitarist for Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora has parted ways with the legendary rock band, a source confirms to Us Weekly. (RumorFix.com was first to report the split.)
“There were a lot of well-documented problems, so this was the best decision for now,” the source tells Us. A rep for Bon Jovi had no comment.
The “Beached” Boys…What’s the deal Mike Love?
You guys all grew up together and basically set the whole “Surfing” craze into motion with your harmonies and California style music and here at the 50 year anniversary you sack all of them again? That’s not very “Love” of you. Like my friend Al said, you make the guys in KISS look like Indian blood brothers.
You guys are all in your late sixties and early seventies…couldn’t you have just rode this wave out on an up note? 🙁
