FRESNO, Calif. (FOX26) — Hanford native and former Journey frontman Steve Perry insists he is not returning to the band.
In a social post, Perry said, “I’ve been hearing these recent rumors, and I wanted to speak to you all directly. While I’m always grateful for the love people still have for Journey, the rumors about me rejoining the band are simply not true, and I want to gently put them to rest.”
I completely understand why people would hope for that. The music we created together means a great deal to me too.
“But I’m continuing to explore new creative work and really enjoy working on new music that reflects where I am today,” the post reads. “Thank you for your continued support throughout the years. Your loyalty has never gone unnoticed, and I am forever humbly grateful.”
