Steve Perry Says He Will Not Be Joining Journey for Their Final Tour Despite Gossip: Do Stop Believin’

Share

All day long I kept hearing on TV that Steve Perry might be joining Journey for their final tour.

Alas, he is not. Do stop believing.

Steve left the group decades ago after their run of hits like “Don’t Stop Believing” and “Open Arms.” He went on to have a big solo career with songs like “Oh Sherrie.”

In the end, though, Perry marched to his own drumbeat, and went off to do his own thing. Journey fans loved him. But that party ended a long time ago. He is not coming back for a big finale.
