I don't understand why it's so hard for people to understand why he was burnt out? He is human. Thank goodness we were able to have him sing while we did and all the wonderful music they gave us. He gave us so much more.... Love Steve Perry

Steve Perry was the nicest, most compassionate, most inciteful band member in Journey. He made that band what it became. The other band members knew that without his amazing voice, they were done. He has such a soft side and that comes out so strong when he talks about his mother and relationships. When anyone mentions the band Journey, we know these guys were great insturmentalists but Steve Perry's voice was the greatest insturment that put that band on the road to success. Good on you Steve for being who you are and staying true to yourself.

Steve Perry will forever be the best lead singer that Journey ever had. PERIOD

Steve Perry is smart and articulate. He has grown into a very self-aware person. I can feel his wisdom and experience when he talks.

Glad to see Steve come out of the shadows and pain of Journey. He is hands down one of the greatest singers of the last 100 years.

His little bit of imitation singing at 21 mins actually gave me the chills and made me tear up, I’m ngl. this was a while ago, but Jesus Christ. He’s still “The Voice” and always will be 💞

Roses never fade, memories remain. One of my favorite human beings to ever walk on this planet. Lots of ❤️ to you always, Mr. Perry.

He will always be remembered as the best rock voice.

Not only is his voice one-of-a-kind, his songwriting talent is a gift. He cowrote Foolish Heart which is one of my all-time favorite songs. I wish Steve Perry much happiness in his life.

Can't believe Steve is almost 70. I always thought he and Journey were one generation younger than The Beatles and the Stones, but he's not too far behind. God bless him. The greatest voice in rock history. Hands down!

I Love Steve Perry ❤

Beyond thrilled about this ... every time I play music, I think of this man's vibrato. He is an encyclopedia of Baroque vibrato techniques. A miracle voice, truly.

I've loved Steve Perry since I heard his voice.

He's such a genuine, sincere, and beautifully intense man. I'm glad he chose the route he took as a musician and a man. You have to respect him for doing so. His loss of love was a inspiration to love music again. It's a amazing story. Happy he's returned!

People love you, Steve, not only because of your great music and iconic voice but because of your beautiful heart! So happy you found your passion for music again! You sound wonderful!

Not only is Steve a great singer, but a great person as well.

A quick prayer. Lord please give us some more Steve Perry’s. We need more incredible voices like him, and the music that he creates. Welcome back to a world starving of good music!

This is how you interview a legend, with grace, professionalism, and respect....wonderful chat to sit in on...

Thank You Steve for Returning to us with your music. Thank You Dr. Kellie Nash for loving Steve and inspiring him to return. The world is thrilled !!! You are so very loved Steve Perry !!!

I love the way he talks about Kellie. He is so respectful, and appreciates her for being independent. I love that

Steve is a class act. Such an amazing Man! I love him so much and have so much respect for him. He always stayed true to himself. He was burnt-out, and he deserved time off to take care of himself and have a normal life. He went through a lot. He lost his Mom, had hip surgery, his girlfriend, Kelly passed away, among other heartbreaks--not to mention what he went through with Journey. It was so beautiful what he said about Kelly--he was so in love with her! He started to lose his voice due to the long tours. It takes a lot out of you. As a singer myself, I can totally relate to what Steve is saying, because often times, the lead singer does not get as much respect as the other musicians in the band, which I think is so unfair because the lead singer has a lot of pressure put on them, and singing Steve Perry/Journey songs is not an easy job. It's hard work! Steve deserved a break from music. Just because someone is talented, rich and famous, does not exclude them from every day problems and loss of loved ones. We are only human, and we can only take-on so much. If you don't take care of yourself, you will be no good to anyone else! I have to say, he looks amazing!! Such an inspiring man, not only for his incredible music and singing, but because he is so real and down-to-earth. I will love this Man forever!

Thank you Dr. Nash for driving Steve Perry to sing again and R.I.P.

I was just mesmerized listening to Steve. He is so passionate, so honest, and just an overall kind soul that he didn't need to explain why he left. He is entitled to his life as he wanted to live it - we all are. He deserved a break - but thank God he found it in his heart through Kellie to return to songwriting and singing again. Thank you, Steve, just for YOU!

Welcome back Steve Perry..we embrace you with "Open Arms"!

My heart's burnin' just like it was before! I love you Steve Perry, you are the greatest!

I did a bunch of videos with Journey (and 3 from Steve's solo album "Street Talk") and the first time I met Steve I told him how much his style reminded me of Sam Cooke. He said "You know that, I know that, THEY don't know that. Let's keep it that way." He's an amazing guy, I am privileged to know him and to have worked with him.

Steve is literally one of the best singers of all time. I'm glad he's back! :)

A truly wonderful voice from a truly wonderful era. Music was so sincere, lyrics coming from the heart, sung by a wonderful, humble gentleman. Thank you Steve. ♥️♥️♥️

For steve to be a total recluse for 24 years.. he is being so honest in his interviews... letting us all in on his mind frame ... really get to see inside his head a little bit and where his song writing comes from.. awesome interview..

What an excellent interview!! I laughed, I cried, I held my breath before an answer . . . . You are truly blessed Steve Perry. We loved you in the past, we love you now, we will love you in the future! Praying the very best over you! Thank you for finding your passion and hearts love again!!

Best interview yet...Steve Perry is a class act. Love him and love the new music. Welcome back!

There are so many wonderful incredible singers through out history - But 1980 to 1987 This man probably the greatest single voice to ever sing a song. Range, Pitch, Phrasing, and most of all Emotivness, which is what he still has even after the high-notes may be gone, the emotiveness is just one of a kind. And he is a dam good song writer and one hell of a class act as a human...Listen to mother father live - The end notes on why can't this night go on forever - The chorus on Happy Give....Defies logic back then...Happy he is back and as he stated not putting pressure on himself knowing he is just south of 70...God bless him and keep him healthy.

When I’m at work and Faithfully comes on, all 8 of my co-workers and I stop what we’re doing and just sit back and listen to that amazing song and vocal. Then get back at it afterwards. Probably in the top 5 best songs ever Made

What a kind hearted man who has been through so much. So happy to hear that beautiful voice I grew up loving..it is still so beautiful!

I absolutely ADORE this man! It's been 40 years now! I ordered the new CD, of course, and I can't wait!! He looks stunning, he sounds stunning, (just talking!) and I'm just crazy about him! Even after all these years!

I still believe I'm dreaming or I'm in a alternate dimension where Steve Perry Came back.

He is so eloquent and sincere. I could listen to Steve Perry talk all day 💗 Can't wait to get my hands on his new album!

America loves steve perry

I was just at a concert a few weeks back (Halestorm) and during the pre show when they play the "warm up music" over the PA "Don't Stop Believin'" came on... Man, the whole venue just lit up and started singing along to that song. So many people touched by his music, I mean every single person in that venue instantly got happy! I remember thinking how lucky and talented Journey was to write that song. If only we all could write just one song so inspiring!

Steve Perry will always be the voice! Arnel held it together for the group for over a decade kudos to him but my heart lies with Steve Perry always has always will!

Wow, Steve looks good!

I've been Loving this man for so long!!! His voice just warms my heart. There's nobody like him. And I will cherish him as long as I live...

Jim Kerr - your interview of Steve was pitch perfect - You have my vote to do an extended in depth interview with Steve - it would be stellar!

Steve Perry is truly one of the greats!! So humble, sweet the type of person you would like to chat with over a glass of lemonade on a hot summer day.

This is the only Steve Perry interview I watched in its entirety- I tend to have a short attention span but I remained listening to every word - fantastic!

I'm struggling with everyone saying they don't understand how he could lose his passion for music. The man is human and to have the strength of character to realize your personal life is no longer one you recognize as the person you've always known and that to get it back you have to slam the door shut. Remember the song he wrote about a friend in trouble , telling him he needed to leave this town before it's "TO LATE" . Imagine....a person who can actually take his own advice ! LOL, rare. Love is something you give from deep inside and when people start reaching in and taking it, telling you when, where, to whom, how much and how often you have to give it, it starts to wither. Steve had suffered some very close personal losses, I know many people do but during that time he also had the music machine reaching in demanding everything he had left. I am actually more impressed that he had the strength of will to walk away from it all than I would have been if he had tried to fight it out and stay. It shows what he valued most, not the money, not the fame, his soul. Being able to sit all by himself and be content with the sun shining on his face or jumping on his bike and feeling the wind caress his face. Living that life prepared him for meeting Dr. Kellie Nash and I'm sure he's happy he was himself again when that happened. Well done Mr. Perry.

I've seen a few different interviews now and what strikes me is just how settled he seems. Despite tragedies, he never closes up. He doesn't back down from a question and he seems really upbeat about where he is. He mentions tensions with Journey, but there's no backstabbing, just a mature attitude of that's what life is like inside a band. I like the single - he's not lost it, there's no over production going on vocally I can detect. I hope this turns out well for him. He is a legend and as was mentioned, his voice is heard somewhere on the radio everyday, so in a way, he's never left us.Very glad he has returned.

Steve Perry is phenomenol! I love love his voice!

Welcome back Steve "the voice " Perry. We love you! 💕

Wow Steve is such a sensitive guy! God bless him!!

I am so happy I ran across this today. Coincidentally, my sisters and I were texting about Steve just yesterday. We had been talking about iconic singers and we agreed that Steve was one of the best, his voice was phenomenal, and it could NOT be copied by anyone. Listening to him touched my soul. I believe I have every record on vinyl!! Anyway, that conversation led to me finding Journey’s greatest hits album on YT, and we each in our own homes immediately listened to it. It was the most joyful, most freeing hour and a half I’d spent in 3+ years. Thank you, Steve, for the incredible music. It brought me joy when it came out and it brings me joy now. Thank you for this incredible interview. I truly enjoyed it. ❤️

STEVE PERRY "THE VOICE!" Sooooo Genuine & portrays to love most or alllll genres of music!!!! To Say He's Phenomenal DOES NOT DO HIM JUSTICE!!! ☺️🥰🥰🥰🎶

I can't stop smiling that the most emotive singer I've ever heard is back! Thank you for a fantastic interview!

It’s so good to hear you again Steve. Thank you for taking care of yourself❤️

Steve is such a HUGE part of most of us growing up in the Era of passionate lyrics and an incredible voice that could lay down such heart provoking change. Heart is your drive and an amazing talent to deliver.

Awesome interview! Steve is a real person with a real heart. Stay true Steve.💕

The most melifluous voice in rock history and my teen crush! Steve Perry will always be my favorite singer!

I cant believe how sensitive, relatable and down to earth he is. Thats what makes the best music.

Thank you Steve for the memories and the music. You've maintained a very eloquent outlook on your career and all of us fans wish you much success.

I just love Steve!! So happy he is finally back!!!!!!! We love you Steve!!!! ❤️😘❤️😘❤️😘❤️😘❤️😘❤️😘❤️😘❤️😘❤️😘❤️😘

Yes Steve...you SHOULD write a book and let it be your cover.

Living legend

Love you Steve! So proud of being Portuguese having you as a Portugueses decendent!!! You are the voice!

Steve, your love for Dr. Kellie Nash was so true. Thank you for your candidness in sharing it with us, and we thank her for inspiring you to return to the music you have always carried in your heart. Your fans have always been here waiting for you and join you celebrating in your comeback.

I can't tell you how EXCITED I am to know I've lived long enough to be around to hear Steve is BACK! I've loved him from 1980 till now. He's such a total class act!! Love, love love him!! Can't wait to buy the album and the CD. He's just💞💞💞

The best interview I have seen so far! Your a classy, articulate, smart, handsome, talented guy-Steve Perry! Glad you are back! 🖤❤️

So happy I got to see him live before he walked away. Simply fabulous!! ❤

I have tears of joy running down my face because his voice has made my life so full. I was heartbroken when he left but I am so grateful he found joy and love. The kind of love that is so BIG! Steve if you are reading, You saved me from darkness and loneliness. I can’t wait to see you on stage! I will make it there! Sending you love 💕

Steve looking and sounding amazing! One of my favorite interviews!

Wow! Steve is the best rock singer of all time AND he's deep! Sounds like he really did alot of work in therapy bettering himself

Also, one of the best voices in rock, ever. Period. The range, the emotion, all of it.

"There wasn't a day that went by (in 25 years) that a Steve Perry song wasn't played on the radio." Amazing quote! I mean think about that for a minute people. Honestly, there are a select few this could happen too, especially when you think they're never coming back. Blows my mind. So doggone refreshing to hear his candid remarks. I never write comments, I mean never. Steve, man, you inspire me bro. ✌🏻🍻

I'm so happy Steve is back. The one and only true voice

So Happy To See Steve Perry Back. His Voice Can Never Be Replaced!!!!!

I wish Steve Perry all the best! He is hands-down one of the best singers ever and a genuine person!

Who would dislike this vídeo??? Its steve perry!

The best interview so far

So much respect for this Guy...

Steve Perry, always the king, he never age, great sense of humor , decent funny guy. Welcome back❤💋💫

You were missed. You are a treasure in this lifetime. Thank you for sharing your gift, and welcome back.

Steve Perry is amazing man ! ❤

Welcome back Steve...you have been missed.

I LOVE STEVE PERRY!!!!! nuff said...

The way he explains music is so poetic and beautiful. It’s just so true!

no erasing Steve, Girl Can't Help it

What an amazing gentleman Steve is. So honest, and true to his heart. Love him so much.

What an exceptional human being....

This interview meant a great deal to me. I was huge Journey and Steve Perry fan when I was younger. I remember seeing Steve for the first time on the show Fridays and I was instantly hooked. We all were. Gosh he was cute! and what an amazing voice! I knew all the words to all the songs and sang along! And the news that he was leaving Journey was so hard to take. But I especially connected with his feelings about needing to walk away and find who he was without being a musician. It's hard to describe but I get it, because I needed to do that too. It's like you have this special trick that when you do it, people get excited about you... and you don't trust that there's anything else they would be interested in. At least that's how it was for me. It's a mind game and it can wear at you. I'm glad he took the time to explore. You only live once, do All The Things! It took great courage and I think it has really paid off. It's so beautiful to see him wise and centered and laughing, even though it came at great expense. I still love his voice - he has one of the greatest voices in popular music - and I hope someday he'll do an album of R&B covers because OMG he would kill it! Welcome back, Steve!

Like his soulful rock voice!😎

This guy knows who he is and what he wants and I am very proud of him number one thing take care of yourself first awesome job Steve and welcome back

To be honest the main reason I am glad he is back, is because Perry's voice makes me very happy. I literally feel no pain, no depression, I just feel good. Perry could sing rap, country, punk, Tuvan throat singing exercises. Hell, the man can gargle a book on psychological disorders, I will listen. So, that's my story. Sorry he lost love, I am sure he will find it again. Keep moving forward, Perry! Cheers!👏🏽 PS- Great interview!!!!!

Steve is the greatest. ❤🎼🎹

Life's a JOURNEY Steve......I'm grateful your's brought you back to all of us.

Steve is such a great guy. God bless him.

Unless you come close to burn-out, or have burned out, you have no idea, just how long it takes to recover. Ten years later, I'm still recovering from burn-out, so I completely understand Steve's long hiatus from the very industry that burned him out. He made the right decision for his own health.

I have to also add that Jim Kerr is also an absolute gentleman & conducted this interview like a true professional. I’ve listed to him in the morning for years & never knew what he looks like & what a real gem he is, until now.

People This Is An Incredibly STRONG MAN!!!!!!!!!!! Values, Saving One’s self

Prayers UP for Steve! God bless you Steve! I hope the joy of the Holy Spirit helps you ENJOY SINGING 🎤 AGAIN! (He said “US”!!!!!)

After listening to Steve Perry's interview on Q104.3 via youtube tonight, I must say he surprised me. In my mind I imagined him as being very uppity and "hey, I'm a superstar" because he was a member of one of THE most successful bands "Journey" and a brilliant solo career of all time with an iconic voice.... but I just sat here in my home with my mouth opened. Stunned! What a humble, gentle, wise and sensitive man he is and I'm so ashamed for thinking the way I did and I offer my sincere apologies. Steve Perry gently put me in my place tonight.... I now have a new "wonderful" opinion and respect for him.. Welcome back to the world of music Steve Perry.... ❤

GLAD to hear THAT VOICE again.
