Steve Perry on E!

[mitzi9796]

There is no Journey without Steve Perry

[CaliforniaDebi]

I knew him very well back in the day and he was a neat guy, he worked like a dog and I have nothing but love for the man! I hope he is well and happy today. Muah Steve* xxx

EL MEJOR DE JOURNEY

[lebosuck]

Steve MADE Journey!  He is the best, the VOICE!

[SiliconBlake]

I have a ton of respect for Steve. Not just for an amazing voice, but for the good man that he is.

[TennMan2020]

He forgot to mention (befroe he quit) that he was taking over the band. The band he didn''t start up himself, pushing out guys that were just as much a part of Journey as he was. Can't forget that part...

[calster33]

I LOVE THIS INTERVIEW AND THE ONE IN CANADA AND THE KITCHEN IS CLOSED. When he talks the way he comes across is like my mom-that's the air sign coming through-my parents are and were both geminis-he's an aquarius,his birthday is 3 days after mine. But air signs love to educate,he should have also been a music teacher-he's extremely smart,so listening to him is like listening to my parents-especially my mom-she's my best friend. Love this. and i love a man with some brains!lol.

[angeleyz63]

Aw, just love to listen to him speak.  I can listen to him 24-7. Thanks for posting this interview.

[newsiemen4u]

He is the best Of the best!! Us fans get behind him and make him large again!!! no more fakes!!! he cant be replaced

[jrizle86]

the greatest singer 2 ever walk this earth. cant wait for some new perry material...

[MrTicolino]

the accent is portuguese, i recognized too.

Love from Brazil Steve.

[fashiongirlz83]

steve rules...such an amazing voice !!!!!!!

[TimeLordGuitar]

sometimes when he speaks you can hear a subtle accent that is hard to pinpoint. is he spanish?

steve rules...such an amazing voice

[dbt1160]

That accent you hear is from his Portugese mother.

[otherperla]

sorry but steve is too emotionally fragile and physically fragile

[Perry4evrJourney]

I can't wait for his solo album and I will fly anywhere to see him if he tours.  He really is irreplaceable and I'm so glad that he is still writing and singing music

[genevified]

Steve Perry will always be the greatest lead singer JOURNEY ever had....that's it...

[cutlets29]

God I love him! Well people it looks like he is coming back with another solo album and I know it will be beautiful. He probably will write about everything that has been going on in his life for the past 12 years and I know it will touch our hearts and souls again!!!

[jade808aloha]

Steve does just as great doing solo, & am proud that he moved on. Never get tired of his songs----his beautiful voice, as always, precious, timeless, endless.... Love ya, Steve, wishing you the very best!!!

[Stevenewfan]

We want you back Steve!!!!!

[TheGipoman]

There simply exists no replacement for

Steve Perry's voice. The clarity, the height

and the fullness of his voice clearly state this. His voice is unique and will remain so for all time.

[vorkanz]

Dude, i totaly agree with you.

[steveperryteamo]

steve is sexxyyyy and hott

[katnip9]

I think For the Love of Strange Medicine was one of Steve's best works.

5 S*T*A*R*S*

[KarmicOmen]

Neil Schon treated Steve like dirt; he just does not want to get into it because he is far, far too sweet.

Stevie Baby has done perfect on his own, yet to this day there is no true replacement for Perry in Journey -- unless someone thinks a Karaoke singer wannabe measures up!

[777aquamarine]

Steve, you deserve to live your own life.

Your health is the most important thing to

consider. Ain't getting any younger.

[housemandoc23]

I dread the day when I turn on the news to hear Steve has passed away. Let's hope that day is far, FAR away.

Steve is the God of singing.

We love you, "The Voice"

[OS253]

Well, he aint young anymore. He's the same age as my dad which is 60 years old. I would hate to turn on the news and hear that he had passed away. That will ruin my day I love Steve Perry!

[gluchnurse]

Ahem...I'm 56 with a 17 year old. Don't 'plant us not-so-old folks in the ground prematurely' (gentle teasing here...). And that 'old' man I'm sure could show 99.9% of the young men out there some tricks when it comes to anything in the arena of 'wowing' the women-after all, he has people who have been pining for him for 30 years! My poor husband is just glad I only discovered him last year. Somehow, I missed the 80's entirely, so my obsession is still in its infancy! A new album-my b-day is Feb

[janeaustinadmirer]

I think other stuff was going on behind the scenes that Steve really didn't want to get into in this interview. I think there was a battle for control of the group between Neal and Perry. Neal comes across as an opportunist and he simply needed to make some money to pay bills. He saw his chance and took control.

Steve is, always will be the REAL JOURNEY!

[lolabear19]

WHOA! Old school E! lol

That's awesome!!

[franki1990]

"Steeeeeeeeeeeeeve Perry!!!

Yeah, Psyche out!!!"

- Baseketball

[luvperry08]

Why can/t people accept that he wanted out for personal reasons? He needed to be alone whet should it have to be a scandal? I respect him as an artist and cherish what he gave me as a fan.Luv ya Steve...

[SELLSHAKO]

i just get this overwhelming sense that steve is full of lies in this video to the question "why'd you leave". i think there was much more reason behind him wanting to leave...

sure, injury im sure played a huge role, but there's a good year+ delay behind the surgery that just doesn't add up...

[Syd4402]

Its kinda weird. Steve says he stopped listening to music following his loss, mine was the opposite. After my loss, and my counterpart shot himelf in front of me, some of his music helped me through it and thats all I did was music. Thanks Steve for the inspiration and coping mechanism. Love Steves distinct voice. I'm Okay and still love the music. Rock on Steve Perry!!!

[jfanalways]

HE led Journey to SIX,count 'em SIX ,MULTI-PLATINUM albums!!!! Not counting STREET TALK which I think went PLATINUM !! HE truly is THE VOICE.

[LuvMyBundle]

Need more Steve Perry music!

[johntg123]

I went to my first Journey concert back in 1983 and my second in 1985 (with Randy Jackson on Bass) - without a doubt he is the absolute best male singer I have ever heard live - truely amazing - one of a kind gift. He is missed. He must sing somewhere I don't know how he could keep from singing.

[kentuckysteve66]

wtf does steve perry want some one to kill themself because he wont sing for us anymore -

[mathproof]

We all love his voice, but we shouldn't be selfish. We have his recordings, which are the gift that keeps giving.

[realblond01]

No, Steve, Marry Me. Say Yes.

[millicentanyway]

You're just so darn cute Steve. I don't think you're going to come back because we've (your fans) been asking and begging and pleading for a very long time and....no Steve. I guess we'll just have to hold you dear to our musical hearts and keep your music alive in our CD and DVD players. You will always be one of the greatest singers/performers of all time and we appreciate what your music has done and continues to do for us. Love you Steve!

[latina1225]

No problem Steve, Marry me... Say yes

[thewantabemrsperry]

I wish he could really read these!

[MadameFendi]

Steve Perry is an amazing Musician. I've always loved his Music. I'm sad to hear that he has Rheumatoid Arthiritis and now Bronchitis. Bless his heart. I hope he will return to the world of Music. For all Steve Perry fans I've created a blogspot if you want me to add photos message me privately for my e-mail address. Thank you for posting this interview!! T

[Liviavan]

I loved thsi interview. Thanks for posting!

[shamiryan]

I think it is Rheumatoid Arthritis. It can take a huge impact on an average person; imagine what it would do to a huge star, THE VOICE Steve. With or without RA, Steve, we miss you. You will always be part of our lives.

[1igglefan]

I can't stand it.....I love him so much and have since I was 11....gosh, I would kill to meet him, just one nite....that's all I want in life...just one nite.....

[JourneyStevePerryfan]

WOW!!!! Whad a Voice!!!!!!Only if I could of seen one of his concerts.My god!!!! I love Steve Perry!

[classicrocker150]

Missing you

[calster33]

Patiently4u,

Yeah I know he said degenerative bone disease and that's why I was guessing or speculating-as I know many people that have bone diseases and have many relatives that have had their hips replaced because of bone disease. That's what doctors are watching for with me-because I have Fibromyalgia-and if the body doesn't respond to treatment it gets worse and as I understnd it-goes into bone disease-they're doing tests on me now for oa and ra. Having my left knee replaced in december.

[Patiently4U]

carslter33 You're right I listen to it again and he said 'MY MOTHER"(didn't hear this part) developed a terminal health situation.....I better go clean my ear real good...lol.Anyway its a Degenerative bone decease.

[calster33]

He said his mother had developed a very Terminal Health Threatening situation-a very rare neurological brain disease-he didn't exactly sy what that disease was on Behind The Music, but I also had heard he had developed a bone disease which was part of the reason why he'd had the hip surgery. Which I'm no doctor-but if I had to speculate-because I do know a bit about bone diseases-I'm guessing either Osteo or RA as I have Fibromyalgia and have done my homework.

STEVE KEEP ROCKING-WE LOVE YOU!

[Patiently4U]

Steve said the reason he stop is because for the last few years of touring he developed a TERMINAL HEALTH THREATENING situation,I guess this is what he meant TOAST.So he need to stop for his life which a lot of people don't understand including me at first.Bless you Steve and you're still being love by your fans forever.

[zohar5150]

CIRCUS LIFE UNDER THE BIG TOP!!!!

[calster33]

Wanted to say 1 more thing:Steve you have the most beautiful set of eyes I have ever seen on a guy!Wow!Those beautiful hazel eyes are so very deep and so very expressive-almost mesmerizing-tose what I like to call "Bedroom-Come Hither eyes"!I guess as you always say:"The Eyes Are The Window To The Soul".

I could stare into those eyes and listen to that voice forever and never get enough or get tired!YOU ROCK MY WORLD!LOVE YOU STEVE-ALWAYS AND FOREVER!YOU'LL ALWAYS BE #1 FOREVER!

[calster33]

STEVE IS SUCH A SWEETHEART!HE'S BEEN MY HERO AND MY IDOL SINCE I WAS ABOUT 7-SINCE 1981, FOR THE LAST 27 1/2 LONG YEARS!AND HE GETS BETTER AND BETTER AND HOTTER LOOKING WITH AGE! His personality-and the way he explains things, his eye and facial expressions and his body language-personality wise-as funny as this sounds-he reminds me an awful lot of both of my parents-he should have been a teacher. WE LOVE AND MISS YOU STEVE!YOU ARE THE VOICE!WITHOUT YOU JOURNEY IS NOTHING!YOU'RE #1 FOREVER!

[raymondelaw]

Steve Perry is and will always be Journey. Without him they are nothing but a cover band.

[kyregina30]

AMEN!!! I saw the new JOURNEY with Schon and Arnel....I laughed the whole time...Schon/Cain rock! However, Arnel does not sound like SP in concert at all! It's so laughable...those who say he is better than Steve Perry are out of their freaking minds! Steve Perry is the best singer EVER!!!!! What I would give to see him in concert!

[comrades73]

yeah Journey covering their own song ...haha

[gluchnurse]

@raymondelaw Well said...While he wasn't an original member, he WAS the catalyst that made them famous, wealthy, and co-wrote the songs for which they will always be remembered, unlike the anemic couple of songs that have charted in Revelation then just as quickly faded away, when the only way they can sell out an arena is in an oldies tour with Heart, or part of an oldies festival, or in Manila due to Arnel's following among his countrymen.

[erniebalajadia]

Now, you guys SP die hard Fans! HE WALK AWAY from the band and make a solo!!!Whatever!!!Thanks ARNEL PINEDA, for singings songs of JOURNEY when SP was still there in the past, its means Arnel giving lives once again to reminds that SP was great on your part Fans, so lets' ARNEL do it now for SPs' memories!!! Lets' ARNEL PINEDA rockin' for the new generation the modern ones' so that SP alives' once again!!! Com'on'!

[calster33]

I haven't lost my mom-but I can kind of understand, I just lost my grandmother on Mother's Day Morning-and because she was my mother's mother-I am watching my mother go through a very rough time because the 2 were extremely close, it's like watching a horror movie in slow motion. But I lost my dad in April 2003 too. But my grandma and I were also extremely close and my mom and I are Executors and POWER OF ATTORNEY over her estate/assessts.So I can kind of relate-I had 2 mothers. Bless You Steve.

[NCFLbabygirl]

When you lose your Mom, you lose a part of your own self. Mine died of cancer in 87, and to this day, I want to call her for a brief moment, and the feeling that hits you, literally pierces your heart. I truly DO understand.

[myzeus]

You're correct that when you lose your mom, you do lose a part of yourself. I can relate to that. My mother was killed in an auto accident when I was 15 years old. You never get over losing your mother, at least I didn't. There is a special bond there between mother and child.

[Kerjo123]

ncflbabygirl: Ilost my mom to cancer back in '02 and you never really get over it. When she passed, a part of me passed too.

[NCFLbabygirl]

Dear God, as much as I truly miss the man, I can hear the "need" to get away. I lost my mother to cancer, and it by far, was the most horrible, heartbreaking and the loneliest helplessness I ever felt in my entire life. When she died like she did, a part of me died with her, that to this day 21 years later, I've never gotten back. I really understand how he felt and hope he doesn't feel it for as long as I have. Losing your Mom is the WORST!! God bless you, Steve!

[calster33]

I can probably tell you why he cut his hair. He has REALLY Thick hair-by the looks of it-and it grows fast-I should know-my hair is real thick too and after awhile-thick hair that grows so dang fast becomes a real pain in the butt-I just cut my hair short again-after having real long hair and getting sick of dealing with it and trying something new sometimes isn't all bad. But I agree-I love his hair too-to me his long hair was his trademark-it will be long again soon-it'll grow back. Callie.

[freetobe08]

Why did he cut his hair . . .I always just wanted to touch it.

[calster33]

angiedawson1969,

I really like what you said-FINALLY SOMEONE THAT AGREES WITH ME!THANKYOU JESUS!LOL-Amen to that. About 2 nights ago-I watched a Journey concert on classic vh1 with Arnel Pineda leading them-just out of meer curiousity-needless to say I wasn't impressed, and I saw them Live in cocert in 2003 when Augeri was leading them-again-not impressed-lol. Give it up Neil!You can't and will never be able to replace"the voice" Steve Perry-there is no Journey without Perry.

[67cabman]

amen to you steve perry fans!!!!amen!!!is this guy legendary or what???

[crasymug]

amen!! alegend!!

[sudzysqeeze]

There are only 3 hottest and sexiest rock gods....Steve Perry, Michael Hutchence, and Jim Morrison

[sudzysqeeze]

three of the hottest singers of all time....Steve Perry, Michael Hutchence, Jim Morrison

[vegasrally]

now, who's fault is it again? is it Arnel Pineda's fault to be the new lead singer of JOURNEY?

[PERRY4ME2]

Arnel will be out of Jrny,, soon,,The man has an awful sounding voice.

[crasymug]

i dsont think, but there is only one steve perry!!!

[almondroces]

it's your nightmare not mine!

[angiedawson1969]

no its not arnel's fault its neals. neal needs to give it up the magic is gone. it left when steve left and it's never coming back. he can get 100 singers that sound like steve not happening. go read the GQ interview with steve and neal. who is the one that is bitter?? not steve.

[rbrnmw]

that interview really made me mad, buy also sad Neal should not have said f him totally uncalled for and trashy

[alroy65]

He may be 59, but in this clip he was 45

[trit1harley2bo3]

I really think Steve just gets better and better. Sexy as ever at 59!

[Kerjo123]

He does get better as time goes on!

[crasymug]

agree!@! nobiody can replacve sp!!hes a legend!!

[lollypolly2000]

I love how he looks. He's 59? I don't care.

[wateverudo92]

YUM!

[wannababrit]

The HAIR - it's enough to drown in alone. I'm soooooo sorry he's cut it all off, gained weight, etc., but seasons change. As we lose the outside, beauty is gained inward. It is then that one finds their truest friends. I will love Steve in any package.

[VeriSheri]

Steve explains--as only he can--why he left Journey. It was obviously a very hard decision for him, one he didn't take lightly. He looks great in this video!

[Blondie8390]

Steve looks hot in all the videos.

[jumpygirl3]

Thanks for posting this.. our sweet beloved Steve

[Dixie1947]

Thanks Kathy for posting this. Steve looks awesome as usual here. I feel bad for Steve when he talks about leaving Journey, so sad. AMO TE STEVE!!!!!

[musicfanlou]

I feel so for him even though this was a few years ago. I hope he has found peace and happiness after all that he has given his fans. Still hoping that some day he feels that he can share his gift with his again.

[Kerjo123]

I hope he's finally at peace too...

[StevePerryness]

thats amazing!

[loveperry4ever]

God this man is just so amazing! He must of gone trough so much painful changes in his llife and he bounced up again. It seems like he can barely talk about his breakup and his leaving the band god bless you Steve!

[Kerjo123]

must've been real hard for him, to say the least. But he had to do what was best for him...

[Krockyrat]

awesome Kathy......thanks!!

[beakys]

This was cool Kathy!! Thanks for posting it!!Look at the cute little face!!!! Yum!!

[squyres]
