Steve Perry left JOURNEY in 1998 rather than be forced into hip surgery so that the band could tour behind their hit reunion album Trial By Fire. He's currently prepping his first solo album in 20 years. JOURNEY's latest studio album, Eclipse, featuring singer Arnel Pineda, was released in May 2011.
Journey released their eponymous first album in 1975, and rhythm guitarist Tickner left the band before they cut their second album, Look into the Future (1976). Neither album achieved significant sales, so Schon, Valory, and Dunbar took singing lessons in an attempt to add vocal harmonies to Rolie's lead.
