=== ''Brave New World'' and departure of DeYoung (1999–2000) ===
Two years later, in 1999, the band released its first new studio album in almost a decade: ''[[Brave New World (Styx album)|Brave New World]]''.  But then, due to illness, DeYoung was unable to commit to touring, so he was replaced by Lawrence Gowan, a classically trained pianist, who had achieved platinum success as a solo act on [[Sony Canada]].<ref>{{cite magazine|last=Waddell|first=Ray|title=Touring like never before|magazine=Billboard|date=August 4, 2001|volume=113|issue=31|page=S8}}</ref> Gowan's 1985 solo hit "[[A Criminal Mind]]" was incorporated into their tour [[set list]] and was still performed into the 2010s.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://arts.nationalpost.com/2012/07/10/styx-singer-lawrence-gowan-is-still-a-strange-animal/ |title=Styx singer Lawrence Gowan aka Karaoke Larry is still a strange animal |last=Go |first=Justin |newspaper=[[National Post]] |date=10 July 2012 |access-date=4 October 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20141005003432/http://arts.nationalpost.com/2012/07/10/styx-singer-lawrence-gowan-is-still-a-strange-animal/ |archive-date=October 5, 2014 |df=mdy }}</ref>

Bassist Chuck Panozzo was sidelined in 1999 due to health problems related to his battle with [[HIV]]/[[AIDS]]. His public "coming out" occurred in 2001 at the annual [[Human Rights Campaign]] banquet, with James "JY" Young in attendance for support.<ref>Panozzo, Chuck (2007).

On June 6, 1999, the group reunited briefly to perform for the [[Children's Miracle Network Hospitals|Children's Miracle Network]] Telethon as DeYoung's final performance with the band. Glen Burtnik filled in for Chuck Panozzo on bass.{{Citation needed|date=October 2021}}

On June 9, 2000, Styx appeared with [[REO Speedwagon]] at the [[Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre (Maryland Heights, Missouri)|Riverport Amphitheatre]]. A 2-CD recording of the concert was released as ''[[Arch Allies: Live at Riverport]]'', with one disc of each band's set and both discs concluding with performances of the two bands collaborating on jam versions of Styx's "Blue Collar Man" and REO's "[[Roll with the Changes]]". Each band also released their set as a separate album, with additional tracks: Styx's version was ''[[At the River's Edge: Live in St. Louis]]''.{{Citation needed|date=October 2021}}
