Steve Perry At Peace With His Journey

(Rock News Desk) Steve Perry is at ease with his legacy as the best-remembered lead singer of Journey. And he has no problem with the band continuing without him and performing his songs. But the iconic singer is saddened to think his former bandmates have probably never heard a song he wrote as a tribute to them on his last solo album.

Perry � who says he's close to recording his first new material in 13 years � fronted Journey from 1977 to 1987, then again from 1995 to 1998, before splitting with the band in acrimony.

The split centered on his refusal to have hip surgery when Neal Schon and co wanted him to. They decided not to wait until he went under the knife at a time of his choosing, and instead replaced him � a move which led to Perry "turning off" his singing career. more on this story
