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.
Perry brought a radically new, more pop-influenced style sense to the band's music, despite some grumblings from his new bandmates and fans of Journey's former progressive rock sound. He made his public debut on October 28, 1977 in San Francisco to a mixed reception.
