. (Classic Rock) Journey have donated more than $350,000 to victims of the storm that struck the Philippines earlier this month. The band are fronting a US appeal for more funds while the International Committee of the Red Cross are running a wider campaign.

Over 11 million people are believed to have been affected after super typhoon Haiyan made landfall on November 7, killing more than 4000. It's thought to have been the second most intense storm on record in the area with wind speeds reaching 200mph.

Journey frontman Arnel Pineda, a Filipino who remains based in Manila, is aiming to take a leading role in recovery efforts � and he's started by pledging the six-figure sum from his bandmates and their associates Live Nation, Creative Artists Agency and manager John Baruck. more on this story
