The best part of this interview is that she didn't ask him about getting back to Journey.

So refreshing to hear a human being who is authentic and healed his soul from his life's experience.... a great singer too!

Steve you have my full Respect. This is Kellie's brother and I am Thankful you kept your promise And Created this beautiful Gift (album) for Everyone. Just know my sister is in Heaven enjoying your music. You were and always will be Loved by her through Eternity! And I personally just wanna say Thank You. The other day was my earthday and this was such a Blessing to discover..the Album!

This kid probably wasn't even born when he last performed, and this turned out to be one of the best interviews out of his recent crop. Sometimes you really do just need a fresh perspective to ask new questions -- and thanks to her for asking a good, meaty technical question about vocal technique as well! Awesome interview.

Steve Perry has always struck me as an amazing artist and he doesn’t disappoint as a human ❤️ Sweet, sweet soul 🙏🏼 Btw this young woman is an exceptional interviewer 👌🏼

Mad props to the interviewer! She did such a great job!! And Steve always does! Really enjoyed this interview!! Thanks, Billboard!!

I liked her questions. The result was a good interview.

The one interview I wish lasted for hours. The interviewer is going places, I'm glad she was able to sincerely bring out Steve's honesty, where other interviewers seem so contrived and many times rushed. Lovely discussion 😄👏👏👏

GREAT interview !!!!!!! Love his voice even when he is just talking. I have been a fan from 1983 until the present day. Thank you #StevePerry for the many years of music.

He is such a wonderful and amazing man! I enjoy his interviews so much. 😊

Best interview because the interviewer was so warm and Steve looked relaxed. So intelligent and interesting about the music industry. Very enjoyable. Different questions. Critics really don't matter, he is singing for himself and all of us.

One of the best interviews that I have seen. She was awesome, asked great questions and she came across as just having an nice conversation with Steve, so easy going. Steve is amazing as usual!

Great interview. This young lady is the best interviewer Steve has sat down with. Excellent questions, soft professional demeanor, and she fuels the interview and also Steve’s responses.

I just love Steve Perry he’s so down to earth in every way he is the best I love love love him ♥️

Steve Perry is always the best G.O.A.T=Greatest Of All Time=Steve Perry...Greetings from KK Sabah,Malaysia🇲🇾🇲🇾✌🇲🇾🇲🇾

Very good interview, excellent interviewer

I feel like i'm in a candy store just can't get enough!!! His Voice is Unique I'm sorry maybe i'm a little honest no one can Top Steve there many bands in the 80's NO voice like his Thank You for coming back!!!

She did an amazing job with this interview. Steve is a class act and I wish him all the best.

Lyndsey did a superb conversational interview with Steve here. One of the most interesting ones yet. To hear her questions that were well informed opened the door for him to share more about making his music, his thinking process, his views on the industry, and his passion for music. A gracious conversation on both sides.

This girl is doing very good questions. Thank you Billboard for this interview to Steve Perry.

What a terrific interview! Kudos to Billboard. Steve Im busting with pride and joy for you.

I've always adored this man! It does my heart good to see and hear him in good spirits like this.

This is a real classy gentleman. Opening his Heart and life was Never easy for him Thank you for sharing to us even though it is as a part of a marketing campaing due your new Traces album launching. It's been so nice listening something out of your personal life or simply for you after all these years. This is so Welcome For us All times fans

Been listening to and LOVING the new album... but this interview was the 1st time I heard you say that there might be some shows?!?!? I jumped up with a HUGE "YES!" Please oh please, in some form or fashion, do some shows! Solo shows, with Journey, it doesn't matter. Do you know how much joy it would bring to so many people to be able to see you sing live after all these years? Goose bumps just thinking about it. Woo hoo!

I would buy every album you decide to come out with-Love You Always. Perry on 😘

Glad he's back! I really looking forward to listening to him!

I've watched so many interviews about Perry's new music. This is my favorite one of all of them. The questions were great. He answered them with more ease and let out answers that seemed honest and heartfelt. It was as if he were just having a conversation with a friend.

You are Blessed. You will never lose her..she may have passed but She is very much with you and loving you still..she will love you thru eternity. Bless you Steve.

Great interview! I think I have watched every interview in the past month. This was so nice to hear new questions. I hope he tours.

Listening to this interview, it is obvious that Steve had real guts to walk away and admit he needed to take care of himself. In the language of 2021 people are now more understanding of this issue but not in the late 1980'a or 1990's. He sounds very real and very grounded and I am so happy he found love with Dr. Kellie Nash and I am thankful she convinced him to not stay in isolation and now we have him back. Welcome Back Steve, we missed you and your music.

Great interview! Nice to hear some new questions instead of the ones he's been getting over and over again in other interviews I've seen.

I have always been so touched with this man. His voice has always been my favorite. Love this interview. Glad he is back!

And, I’m so glad he found his passion for music again! Love Traces and The Season! So great to hear his amazing voice! #StevePerry #FTLOSP

The interviewer is a definate star, excellent questions, speaking voice and response to Perry. As for Perry...👍🏽 G.O.A.T

Well Steve you can't sing if you are dead...I'm glad you had the balls to cover your health over people they come and go unfortunately. But a true fan of yours would understand you had to step away from the music...I'm glad you did sir you are a once in a lifetime singer...you are unrivaled at what you do...at 69 you are a better singer than so called stars in their prime...roll on Steve Perry train roll on buddy you are simply the best that's ever been or will be...your my favorite...

By far, this is my favorite interview!! I just love Stephen, and I'm thrilled that he's back!!! Love you Mr. Steve Perry!!

Excellent interview! Steve Perry you are so honest and open and that takes a lot of guts! The interviewer was excellent and had questions that were unique at least what I have heard up to this point. Thank you Steve Perry music for pointing me in the right direction! 🙏🙏🙏

This is an excellent interview! The interviewer is very smart and mature.

This is such a wonderful interview! "The broken heart is the good news"..... Right on Mr. Perry

Love listening to him do interviews.Hes got such a easy voice.Love you Steve Perry! Keep the music coming!

I just saw this and I have to say that this interviewer did such a good job! She was intelligent and caring and she didn't show any kind of nervousness around his celebrity.

🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 JAÚ/SP 08/05/2023 STEVE PERRY, É PERFEITO.. VOZ MARAVILHOSA... ELE É TUDO DE BOM., ATÉ HJ..❤❤❤

By far the best interview I've seen since Perry's return to the music scene.

BEST INTERVIEW ! Out of the many interviews I've watched--same questions, same responses just worded differently, this by far was the most revealing of Steve's journey (that pun was not intentional-really!) back to music. Welcome back, Uncle Steve !! 💖😊🎶

god bless all your new songsthey are greatjust as great as you areonce again bless you

I 💕 you Steve perry always have always will!!!!

This is really the best interview I have seen of Steve, excellent job!

Genial este reencuentro con tu público Steven...gracias por volver...te escucharemos....bravooo

Here for a purpose and wouldn’t be here if he didn’t listen to his “higher self” you, Steve Perry are needed and here for something much bigger than ego and self.... Beautiful Soul.

Great! I just find this person as I image. And as I love

Love you Steve!! Glad your back!!

Steve I love the way you thought all this out your way no one telling you what to say or sing so natural good interview and I'm glad she didn't bring up the past or about going back to journey he gets disappointed cause this is about him and when he left it was about him amazing Steve :) and your wearing my favorite colors. Purple n black :)

Isaiah , I think it was you who thanked me for my comment for your beautiful sister, she and Steve May not have had long together but I get the feeling they packed as much into that short time. I truly think Steve is now more comfortable in his own Skin and I think that’s down to your sisters love for him. Even though he was a broken man when he lost her , he now new what real true all encompassing love is like. So he I think feels free to open up and let people in . What a gift she gave him and I’m sure he’d agree that Dr Kellie Nash bought more to his life before he met her. Not only was she beautiful inside and out she had the greatest smile, and she looked so happy too be where she was on his arm. That was a gift too her as well, because his love for her new no bounds and she had that great love even if too us it doesn’t seem very long. Do you know he still talks about her with such love and respect it eases your heart a bit too know just how much she was loved . 🎼♥️🇦🇺♥️🇺🇸

Long time fan, but not fanatic. I have admired the way Steve has crafted not only his songs, but his singing. That he is rediscovering his joy and passion, is a gift to all of us who share in his musicality. I am drawn to Steve as a singer - I used his voice to warm up with all those moons ago-but not just to mimic-when you are into your music deeply as I hope I was at the time, I listened to his vocal craftsmanship. The nuances come from life experiences; already nearly 30 when he joined Journey - his voice had experience, depth. His vocal shadings, control, range and style on his newest album continue to mesmerize me; I listen with headphones on. Only by living a life of love and loss - if you are a singer and lucky enough to articulate through writing - do you get the subtleties of phrasing he has. I am drawn to him as a singer, but also as a human being; he is someone you can talk with, and someone who listens. I have also learned so much from him regarding music and songwriting; I would think he'd be a great teacher - one that inspires and offers life-work-experiences over one who preaches. I'd give anything to have his presence in a recording studio and share coffee with.

Nice interview

What a pleasant and insightful interview. Thanks to Steve and Lindsey. Fries all around!

You are a really great human being.

Really good interview. Excellent questions.

Young lady asked great questions that helped pull deeper responses from Steve Perry than the other interviews he recently done. He may be prepping to reunite with Journey after his Traces Tour ends. One can hope, we waited a long time for this, why not?

I do respect u i did hit my pasion on food 33 years now ,i need a break so understand ,did help alot JG

Very good interview.

69 years old, my God the man looks incredible!

Broken hearts can always mend ❤
