Well another year has flown by. It's amazing how that happens.
To be honest, this was a rough year with a lot of emotions, good and not so good.
That's just the way it is for us all.
This birthday is a very mixed bag of thoughts and emotions.
I really have been trying to keep Kellie's promises she asked me to make.
One was that if something ever happened to her, she made me promise to not stay in it too long if possible, and to try and move on.
I never met anyone in my whole life that was so evolved and so unselfish
as she was.
It's been two years now since her passing and I'm trying to keep my promise.
She will be loved forever in my heart.
Singing live with the EELS was a very uplifting period of 2014 for me.
"E" and the band were so gracious to ask me to share their stage last year.
They are great and we had a BLAST together.
The audiences were so great and we all had such fun ......... I will never forget it......
Thank You St. Paul, Thank You Washington, DC and Thank You Los Angeles.
Looking at this picture of me as a baby in my Dad's arms seems like another universe.
I guess it really was....... I truly loved and miss Mom and Dad.
Thanks to everyone for all your well wishes.......
Thanks for your years of Faithfulness.........
Love
Steve

Well a big Hello to everyone. Yes it's that time again and this year it's the big 55. { ha } Kinda not feeling too up about my birthday but I just was told about some very kind and loving posts that really are helping me, thank you! One coffee birthday morning, I was telling Kellie that my body was aching and this getting old thing is getting ruff. She looked at me and smiled and said, "Honey … I would Love to get Old." Well that kinda puts it in perspective.
A drummer friend of mine, Steve Ferrone, was going to be inducted into the Guitar Center Walk of Fame, and he had told me that Hamish Stuart {one of my favorite lead voices of all time who was in The Average
White Band} was going to fly here from Scotland and that I should
come down to rehearsal and meet him.
Well I was not going to miss that.
Then he said that Questlove was not only going to be playing drums too, he was going to do the induction.
Holy S*#T I thought……… So I went to rehearsals and in the middle of
a run though Steve stopped the band cause he was not happy with the Background
vocals of "Person To Person." I knew what part they were missing but kept my mouth shut………. Well…….. At least for a bit. Then after they ran though all the tunes……. Questlove showed up and in the middle of the next run through of "Person To Person," I had a musical Tourettes moment and jumped up to a mike and sang the part I felt was missing. They all turned around and said…... AHHHH HAAHH!! At the end of the song Steve Ferrone said in his heavy English accent, "Dats Zit, Your In Dha Band, You've passed the au-di-tion." Then they gave me 2 more tunes to sing BGz and play cowbell on. Walking out on that stage was a great thrill ……. I loved it so very much…… There was soooo much feel and pocket between Steve and Questlove and the band. Just about as much feel and pocket that one Portagee boy could ever feel at one time……. SOOOOO GOOD.
Thanks again for all my birthday well wishes and the Love that you all have sent my way……
"You are the Faithful Ones"
Thank You.
Sincerely,
Steve Perry

As I said in my last birthday message January 2013, "There's so much more I'd
like to share with you but that will have to come at another time"........
Well, I guess the time is now!.......In May of 2011, I was with Patty Jenkins in an editing room as she was putting the final editing touches on what was to be the closing segment of a Lifetime Channel breast cancer special called "Five."
As the opening scenes camera panned across an outside hospital patio, a
narrator's voice commented on their lives and their types of cancer.
The camera came across this girl sitting there laughing….. I saw her smile.
When the scene was over I said to Patty, "Can you roll to the top of that opening scene for me?"
Patty asked, "Is something wrong?"
I said, "No. I want to see something."
As the camera again crossed Kellie's smile I asked her to freeze right
there.…….
I asked Patty who that was.
She said, "That's Kellie Nash, a PHD Psychologist who was diagnosed with breast cancer, had a double mastectomy and she's doing a cameo appearance."
I asked if Patty had her email, She said, "Yes" but looked at
me strange because she knows I don't do that.
I asked if she would send Kellie an email that your friend Steve would
love to take her to coffee or lunch sometime.
Patty agreed to do so but said, "Before I do that I think there's something I
should tell you first. After a 3 year battle she was in remission for 8 months
then it came back in her lungs and bones and now she's Stage 4 fighting for her
life."
I was frozen……. I didn't know what to do…….. I had lost my mom, dad, grandparents
that raised me and I was an only child so my first thought was to maybe
not send the email; then my heart said, Maybe we could be friends or maybe
she could be my shrink.
So I said, "Please send it."
Well Kellie returned an email to me via Patty and we talked on the phone for the first time 2 years ago this May.
It was so great to hear her voice.
It felt like I knew her all along.
She said that her girlfriends had bought her a ticket to Mexico for her
birthday and when she got back we'd grab a bite.
I was soooo excited..... I was a little boy who finally found his girl.
I waited and 2 weeks later we went to our first dinner ....... Well we
started at 6pm and the next thing I know she said "Oh My God! What
time is it?" I said, "11:30." She
said, "I have patients starting at 8 tomorrow" ....... So we left.
I never felt like this before....... I had finally found her. She's real and
she's right in front of me.
We started seeing each other and Yes, we both knew that we were meant to
be together.
My life was forever changed in ways I will explain at another time but
it was all because of my Kellie.
She continued chemo from May into December when headaches started and we
discovered the cancer had gone to her brain.
She started brain radiation and the chemo continued also.
I've never seen courage like this before.
One night as we were talking she told me she just couldn't do it anymore
and would I be angry If she stopped everything.
I was scared for what could happen but I told her that never, to my very
last breath would I ever be angry with her and that I loved her and that
her choices were torture at best.
She stopped everything.
January and February were rough on her then one day she said she wanted to try one last treatment that was not chemo but it was in New York. I said, "Let's move to New York"....... so we lived there for 9 months and the drug kept her alive with a quality of life.
We had the most Magical summer of our lives together.
She was doing really well till August.
She said, "Something's wrong."
We later found that her cancer was returning like wild fire.
Kellie tried chemo in New York for 2 months but it was useless.
We came back to California in November and I lost my precious Kellie December
14th 2012.
She was so strong, so courageous and we really loved each other so very
much. I've been trying to grieve and not run from this loss so for the last 5
months that's what I've been doing along with recalling everything being in Love
with Kellie taught me.
She helped me in so many ways. I Love and miss her terribly.
Three weeks ago a routine mole was taken off my face and the lab
report came back Melanoma skin cancer. I've had two surgeries in two weeks to
remove all the cancer cells and I've been told they think they got it all and no
other treatments are required.
On Sunday I was a bit depressed because Kellie's birthday was coming up so
I went for a drive and ran into Martha Quinn at a street fair. It was so great
to see her and in a few short moments I told her most of this story. She asked
if I'd take a picture with her and I said, "If you don't mind my face scar." She
said, "Not at all." I joked about me and Pirates of the Caribbean and we both
laughed.
It was so great seeing Martha........ I was a bit emotionally lost that day
and seeing Martha got me grounded again. Thanks Martha!!
Well Fans.......... there's so much more to this story than you know and
soon you will know more about it.
Though Kellie and I were only together for 1 and 1/2 years, it was a lifetime of love packed into every moment.
God bless my precious Kellie. I loved you before I met you- I love
you now- and I always will!
Love,
Steve

I’d like to thank everyone for their well wishes for my birthday.
There is so much I’d like to share with you, but that will have to happen at another time.
My birthday present this year was meeting June Foray.
She's a cartoon voice over legend - I love all of her work! She was and
is the voice of Rocky the flying squirrel and many other female voices
on The Rocky & Bullwinkle Show, and she also did many voices for Disney,
Hanna-Barbera and Warner Brothers cartoons, too!
When I was a kid, she was my hero.
Her characters were gentle and loving voices - voices I so needed in my
childhood.
It’s safe to say that her work got me through many tough times as a kid.
Thanks, June..... You’re the best!
Love and best wishes to you
and yours

■From : Classic Rock Magazine (January 5, 2012)
Former Journey singer Steve Perry is planning to record a new album this year.
Perry is currently installing a studio at his home in Southern California, after which he’ll get down to work on the album, which will feature his first new songs in 14 years.
The vocalist told Billboard: “I’ve written a whole bunch of ideas and directions, all over the map, in the last two, three years. So I plan on getting in the studio at some point and start trying to track these things and see where they go.
“I don’t want it to have pressure, because I’ll worry about it sucking, and then what am I gonna do? I’ve got all this pressure… that I just don’t want on me, so I’ve allowed myself the ability to sketch and write as I go, and I’ll do it at my own pace.”

BOHEME, FEATURING GUEST VOCALS BY FORMER JOURNEY FRONTMAN STEVE PERRY:
Singer/songwriter Cassidy's new project entitled
Boh鑪e has at last been completed, and the eagerly
anticipated solo debut album, is called Follow The
Freedom. Hailed by veteran Rolling Stone writer David Fricke as 殿 vocal dynamo,?
the former front woman of the once-acclaimed Antigone Rising, will make
her album available later this year on her own Band and Mountain label.
Follow The Freedom marks an extraordinary new chapter in Cassidy's already
remarkable career. With its blue-eyed soul and pop-influenced sound as
well as powerful sense of hope and optimism, the album marks a kind of
creative rebirth for the Los Angeles-based artist. Among the album's many highlights is the stunning
title track, which features backing vocals from none other than Journey's
Steve Perry. The legendary lead singer offered
his spontaneous support when he surprised Boh鑪e at the studio during the
sessions. 的 walked into the studio one day to find Steve Perry hanging out in
my mixing bay,? she recalls still with a bit of disbelief. "Before I knew
it, he came up with this cool idea for a backing vocal on 'Follow The Freedom.'
We threw a mic up and sang it together!? WebLink: bohemeartist.com.

■From Fan
Asylum : about Micheal Jackson
Steve was
contacted by various media outlets for his thoughts on
the untimely death of Michael Jackson (June 25, 2009).
The following are his comments. Excerpts may appear in
other publications such as Life Magazine & Billboard
Magazine.
What are
some of your memories of working with Michael Jackson on
"We Are The World"
I was originally
contacted by Lionel Richie’s manager, Ken Kragen who
told me that Lionel & Michael had written a song
called “We
Are The World” for a project they were
doing together called U.S.A. For Africa.
He wanted to know if I was interested in joining the
choir with many other recording artists.
I said, “Sure...that
would be fantastic!”
The next thing I knew I was at A&M studios in
Hollywood in a room full of so many artists that I grew
up with and admired.
After we had done
the chorus choir of “We Are The World” it was time to do the
verses.
They told everyone to look at the floor and if your name
was there, you were selected for a verse step-out vocal.
I glanced at the floor and written on gray duct tape I
saw the names of Michael Jackson, Tina Turner, Ray
Charles, Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel, Cyndi Lauper,
Diana Ross, Kenny Loggins and so many more that I was
stunned.
Then I glanced down and saw my own name on the floor and
I got pretty nervous.
Lionel Richie
had called me earlier and discussed why he wanted me to
be there and I believe he had a lot to do with me having
a step-out moment.
I wasn’t
sure what they were going to have me sing, but from that
point on, I was all ears ? trust me!
For the longest
period of time, I really wanted to meet Michael Jackson
but for whatever reason, it just never happened.
During the recording session, I remember how barraged
Michael was with so many artists trying to talk to him.
Out of respect, I left him alone. Instead, I went into
the catering room and hung out with Bette Midler and Paul
Simon.
Years later during
the live rehearsals for the "Bad" tour, I
finally got to meet and talk to Michael.
He was very gracious and made me feel very welcome.
I felt so lucky to stand stage left while they ran the
entire, full dress rehearsal of the show.
What an experience to watch him perform that close up!*
Do you
have a favorite Michael Jackson song?
Michael's total
body of work is so beautiful and massive that it's really
impossible to have any one favorite.
I know that every single time he released new music, the
quality was always amazing and cutting edge.
No artists ever wanted to release their music at the same
time that Michael’s was released simply
because the anticipation and subsequent sales from his
records was too much for anyone to compete with.
How do you
feel Michael has changed the music business?
Michael was always
reaching for great songs, great vocal performances,
better recording and production values, better and better
music videos with new dance moves, and great sing along
hooks that are still to this day, truly timeless.
I think everyone
will remember the first time they saw Michael do the
Moonwalk on television.
I could not resist jumping up and trying it at least once
or twice because it was such an amazing move.
After many failed attempts, needless-to-say, I never
tried that again.
Lastly, I'd like
to add that the first time I ever heard Michael Jackson
sing was on the Jackson 5 single "ABC."
Immediately, I
knew how truly talented and gifted he was.

I am posting this statement on fanasylum.com for it’s the only site I post my
official statements.
Today I was made aware that there was an attempt to
perpetrate a hoax on my most faithful fans.
It has been brought to my attention that there was an
announcement of a show that I was supposedly to perform
at in Hawaii.
This is absolutely a hoax and should be treated as such.
It has also been brought to my attention that several
news sites are reporting that my management had cancelled
the supposed performance. There were never any plans for
any such performance made by me or anyone authorized by
me.
This is the first we have heard of this.
I’m only
posting this out of concern for my faithful fans.
I encourage all news sites to post this statement, with
the hope it will clarify the confusion brought about by
this hoax.
I simply wanted you to know the truth.

STEVE PERRY TALKS NEW
MATERIAL:
Journey were recently the subject
of a feature article in GQ Magazine.
Writer Alex Pappademus interviewed new singer Arnel
Pineda,
the band members and also former singer Steve
Perry.
The article can be read here: men.style.com/gq/features/landing?id=content_6818.
Now Pappademus has made available the complete Steve
Perry and Neal
Schon
interviews.
It makes for an interesting read. He also offers his own
thoughts on Journey via an audio Podcast.
All this can be viewed via the link: men.style.com/gq/blogs/gqeditors/2008/05/foolish-foolish.html.
Out of the Steve Perry conversation comes news
that the reclusive singer has begun work on writing new
material for as yet undisclosed project.
Perry states:
"I started writing
music again, at the beginning of last summer.
I had not opened that up in over ten years.
I was reluctant to try to write some more, but now I've
been doing that, and it's been a real experience.
I got ProTools, and I'm working on stuff.
I'm not sure what I'm gonna do with it yet, but I got a
lot of material, and a lot of it I really like.
I'm in the boil-down
process.
I got these ProTools sketches of songs, and I guess it's
time to record some of 'em.
I guess I have a desire to sing and write music again,
and I'm letting it take me places.
It's been painful.
Sometimes, when I hear myself sing, I sound like Steve
Perry, and sometimes that has a lot of memories attached to it.
I'm serious.
I just told somebody that, a
couple weeks ago, a writer that I'm working with my own
voice is sometimes difficult to hear.
Because it reminds me of so much.
But I'm embracing it.
And I've played some of the stuff for friends, and for
some people that aren't afraid to tell me the truth.
And they've really liked it.
It sounds like me, they've said.
And that's great. It's been a love-hate thing. All
creative processe
Anything worth anything has got to be that way.
Right?"

My My MY....Well here we
are again.
In '06 I told ya I was 43 and since then I've had to come
to terms with the fact that I had stretched the truth
just a pinch. So I wanna tell ya that today, I turned
49...................again.
I'll tell ya a quick story.
When I was a kid, one of my most favorite things was when
we went on trips to the snow. I was 8 and living in
Hanford Ca. and my birthday was one day away.
I had heard on the news that there was a high possibility
that it could snow on the 22nd.
I started wishing and praying that it would.
When I awoke, I looked out my bedroom window and there it
was-
SNOW EVERYWHERE!!...........I swear, I swear- this is the
truth.
OMG........I couldn't believe it.......!!
You see, it never snows in Hanford and the school buses
were not equipped with chains.
School was called off and out I went into my own Backyard
Winter Wonderland.
It was only about 2 inches worth but it lasted till 4 PM
that day.
What a great Birthday that was. One I'll never forget.
So 41 years later here I
am. {heheheh}
I received a call this morning from someone who shall
remain anonymous.
It was brought to my attention that there have been many
nice {and some Sexy Nice} birthday messages posted for me
on various sites. There were so many that they could not
all be read to me but please know this.............I
appreciate them and thank you all.
I wish you and yours all of the very best of everything
in the New Year.

This is Steve Perry. As you are aware I have yet to
launch my own web site and Fan Asylum is still the only
credible site for official statements from me. Once again
they have kindly allowed me to post this statement. It
has been brought to my attention that there is a rumor
circulating that I am reuniting with Journey. I want to
go on record as saying that I have no such plans
whatsoever to do that. What you have heard is only a
rumor. I’m
truly sorry for any disappointment this rumor may be
causing.
I also would like
to say that your faithfulness continues to warm my heart.
Thank you so very
much,
Steve Perry

NUNO BETTENCOURT WRITING
NEW MUSIC WITH STEVE PERRY:
This should get the attention of a few people out there
and start endless speculation, but it seems that Extreme
guitarist Nuno Bettencourt has been involved in
writing new music with former Journey vocalist Steve
Perry.
Here's where things started - Nuno was in conversation
with The
Boston Herland.com about his new Satellite
Party
release, a collaboration with Perry
Farrell of
Jane's Addiction. The debut CD Ultra
Payloaded is
out this week.
Happy
58th Birthday Steve Perry
Thank You For 8th Anniversary
Thank you for
visiting to Steve Perry Support Page
A Happy
New Year !!!
I want
to believe the restoration of Steve Perry.
I think
I want to keep waiting forever.

A LITTLE EXTRA BONUS
TRACK INFO FOR JOURNEY FANS:
The second round of Journey re-releases are due out
October 3. Also due are the solo releases from former
vocalist Steve Perry. The earlier re-issues
have been just that - re-issues - not remasters! But in
this case there are a few updates to talk of - and some
extra details not mentioned elsewhere.
In fact, all the October 3 titles coming out are fresh
remasters! Only Captured features the already
released audio source.
I'm told that Departure, Frontiers,
Raised On Radio
and Trial By Fire are all remastered as are
the three Steve Perry solo releases - Street
Talk, For The Love Of Strange Medicine and Greatest
Hits.
Now for the bonus tracks.
Departure adds Natural
Thing and Little
Girl.
Frontiers adds Only The
Young
(finally!!), Ask The Lonely, Liberty and Only
Solutions.
Raised On Radio adds two 'live video
mixes' - Girl Can't Help It and I'll Be
Alright Without You.
Trial By Fire adds the Japanese bonus
track I Can See It In Your Eyes and a very cool booklet
I'm told!
Street Talk adds My My My,
Harmony and Makes No
Difference
(all demos from the unreleased Alien Project
sessions) plus Don't Tell Me Why You're
Leaving and If Only For
The Moment Girl.
For The Love Of Strange
Medicine adds If You Need Me, Call Me (from Against The Wall,
same as on You Better Wait single), One More
Time (from Against
The Wall, same as on You Better Wait single), Can't Stop (unreleased ballad from FTLOSM
sessions), Friends of Mine (unreleased, from Against
the Wall)(and an awesome rocker I hear!) plus Missing You
(Live).
Greatest Hits + Five
Unreleased adds
Don't Fight It - Steve's duet with Kenny
Loggins.
All releases are with deluxe booklets and in a digipack
format.
Definitely something to look forward to on October 3!
Expect an over view of these releases upon their release.

MR-X
UPDATED:
MR-X has been updated. It's
been a very slow month - not for updates - but for new
members!
Let's see if today's update can't inspire a few new
members or some old ones to return.
Added today is a new Feature Album - the rare and
long out of print 1990 release from Jillson - Deadly Girl.
Also added is a 14 track live radio show concert from Mr.
Mister
from 1986; plus four rare Mark Free demos and a few advance
preview MP3s for some upcoming releases.
And a new Feature DVD has been added - Steve Perry
- Live at
The Beacon Theater, NYC 1994.
It's an audience shot concert, but the picture is nice
and clear and the sound ok and features a memorable set
list.
In addition, the following new video
clips have been added: Waltham - Hopeless, Rob Zombie - Foxy
Foxy, Missing Persons - Destination Unknown and Rik
Emmett 4-Play - When A Heart Breaks, Out Of The
Blue, Anyting You Say and Bang On.
All recent updates remain online for a short while longer
- that includes all the Crappy Covers Volumes, Soundtrack
Classics 4, the King
Of Hearts compilation and much
more.

■ From Fan Asylum
First of all, I
must get one thing out of the way; because of
so many recent inquiries, I want to make very clear: "I
am not on MYSPACE.COM nor have I ever
been." and that's that!! Please don't be
deceived. Where were we.....Oh yea....."43"
.........{again}!! Time does fly. Last summer as I was
working on the Houston Live DVD, it seemed like that show
was just the other day. It certainly felt that way. I'm
very proud to have been in the band in 1981. We were good
together!!!
As I think about
my birthday I remember, my Mom and Dad told me once
that they always wanted a son but would have been
happy no matter what. Well they got a son and between
Mom's don't give up attitude and my Dad making
me laugh by tickling me to the point of peeing my
pants, I always knew I had much love around me. I
remember Dad would always sing me to sleep. That was so
great. SO..... I guess what I'm saying is..... This
is my Mom and Dad's day and I am so grateful
for our time we had together. I will always
love and miss them very much.
Thank you all for
your birthday messages and wishes and all your
contributions to so many wonderful charities on my
behalf.
For years now so
many of you have always been so Faithful and I
thank you so very, very much.
Till next time,
Love ya......Steve
Perry
Happy
57th Birthday Steve Perry
Thank You For 7th Anniversary

STEVE PERRY
TALKS TO THE BOSTON GLOBE:
One of the Journey message board regulars
posted this very cool interview with Steve
Perry on
the forums, which appeared Saturday in The Boston
Globe. The full interview is available via this link:
www.boston.com/ae/celebrity/articles/2005/11/05/he_never_stopped_believin.
The majority of the interview is featured here:
How did it feel having
the White Sox adopt your song? You are a San Francisco
Giants fan, right?
If they love you, I don't think
it's wrong to go where you're loved.
The second night, I was sitting in the clubhouse with
Crede and Rowand and [relief pitcher Bobby] Jenks and I
said, ''Congrats, that's 2 for 2 now." I told them I
had to head out and do some work on the disc. Crede
looked at me and said, ''Dude, you've got to go to
Houston. This may never happen again."
So you changed
your plans?
They played five hours and 45 minutes in Game 3, which
took me to the edge of insanity.
We won that one. Here we are the next day in Game 4, I'm
standing near the warning track near the line and the
White Sox are doing their stretches and busting my chops.
I felt like I was one of the guys.
Like being in a band again.
When I was in Journey, there was a camaraderie.
It had a purpose, it had a mission.
We scrapped and had difficult times with each other and
battles over musical differences but that never stopped
us from being the best we could be....
...What do you
mean a normal life? You're Steve Perry.
I make my own bed when I'm at my house.
I wash my own dishes every day.
And when they pile up it's because I don't wash them.
Do you miss
those days?
Terribly. When I heard the raw tapes and I started mixing
it, there were times I had to keep my head down on the
console.
Those were some magical times.
It was too hard to watch.
And it was 24 years ago and it seems like it was
yesterday.
So the Journey
thing is over, right?
The divorce is final.
Back when that happened, it was January of 1998.
October is when I had the hip replacement, but January is
when I got the ultimatum that they had been checking out
other singers.
That made it pretty personal.
But you give
each of them solo spots on the concert album. Why not
say, forget Neal Schon?
No, no, no.
In the music, they're pouring their hearts out.
I wanted it to be representative of what we once were
together because the performances are absolutely magic.
Especially Neal
Schon.
Though we're on the outs and we do not speak, it doesn't
take away what we were.

Perry And White Sox (World Series Champions Team)
STEVE PERRY
AND THE WHITE SOX NEVER STOPPED BELIEVIN':
- October 28 From Melodicrock.com
The Chicago White Sox won their coveted World
Series Baseball title and former Journey vocalist Steve
Perry was
there to share the excitement and the love. Steve joined
the White Sox guys in their post game celebrations and
lead them all in a rousing rendition of the team's
adopted theme song Don't
Stop Believing.
Check it out - cbs2chicago.com/video/?cid=29 Select 'See Scenes From
Party' and also click "more" and 'Journey's
Steve Perry Celebrates' - some cool footage!
The Chicago Sun Times has also talked about Jonathan
Cain's
feelings of watching the team's exploits while parading
one of his signature anthems during each game. That
article is online at: www.suntimes.com/output/worldseries/cst-nws-brown27.html.
STEVE PERRY
ANSWERS THE CALL FROM THE WHITE SOX: -
October 24 From Melodicrock.com
After a call-out to Steve Perry, it seems the vocalist
behind baseball's Chicago White Sox club newly
adopted theme song Don't
Stop Believin'
came to the party!
From: www.suntimes.com/output/worldseries/cst-nws-fans23.html
"There was big money on display at Game One,
including people sipping sparkling wine in front-row
seats and decadent dessert trays being wheeled into the
luxury suites. And there were celebrities, including Liz
Phair, who sang "God Bless America" during
the 7th-inning stretch, and Steve Perry, the former
frontman for the rock group Journey, whose Don't Stop
Believin' tune
became a rallying cry in the Sox clubhouse.
"I'm beyond honored," Perry said from
his front-row seat behind home plate as the song played
over the P.A. "I can't even put it into
words."
And from: whitesoxpride.mlblogs.com
"Don't Stop Believin' - How great a baseball fan is Steve
Perry? Let
me tell you.
As most of you know, we have been trying to find Steve
since clinching the ALCS in Anaheim. It seems several
guys, Joe Crede, Aaron Rowand and A.J.
Pierzynski among them, have taken Perry's Don't Stop
Believin' as
the team's theme song. After we clinched, AJ grabbed me
and said, "Do whatever you can to get Steve Perry
here for the World Series."
Well, Steve found out about our search and called me the
other day. A huge baseball fan, he follows the SF Giants
(and now the White Sox), Perry was touched by our team's
reaction to his song.
He and a friend hopped on an airplane yesterday and flew
in for the game. We snuck him into a room behind our
clubhouse and surprised Joe, Aaron and AJ. They loved
meeting Steve and everyone posed for photos."

Message
From Steve Perry
Well, here we are
again. The yearly ritual known as the
"BIRTHDAY." This year I can't believe I'm, "45"
.... AGAIN....!!
I'd like to thank EVERYONE
who sent well wishes to me for my birthday, and
EVERYONE who showed up at the Walk of Fame presentation last
Friday the 21st. What a magic feeling it was to see
you all again.
Seeing the guys in
the band was a celebration just like the old days when
music was what it was all about. When we
were taking pictures in front of the star, Jon Cain
was on my right. I said to him, "Do you know what
that is down there on that side walk? That's some great
songs. Congratulations Jon." Ross Valory was our
cello of bass players. It's was fun watching him clowning
again. It was really great to see Steve Smith
and Aynsley Dunbar after all these years. What perfect
drummers these guys were for the music of Journey. I told
them both congratulations and that they both busted
their asses for this. I told Neal congats' when we
were standing there together making fun of "Heckle
and Jeckle," or known to their fans as, Mark and
Brian from KLOS.
Oh, and by the
way, after M&B's on the AIR complete violation
of my privacy and still never getting my number, I'd
like to make one thing very clear. I
thought about this award ceremony for a long time. For
the longest time I thought it would be best that I
not go, do to our re-break-up in May of 98. I knew it
was going to be my decision and my decision ALONE and
that no one could sway me into going or not going! After
I decided to attend, on the morning of
Jan. 20th I headed north to L.A. As I got
closer, I turned on KLOS and heard M&B
and what they were up to. I QUICKLY turned them OFF
so I would still want to attend our event. I'm
so glad I went. It was a real thrill to hear all those
fans sing "Na Na's" and "Don't Stop
Believin'" AND THEN, they sang Happy Birthday
to me. Thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU!!!
On Saturday the
22nd I went back to take another look at the
star for my birthday and for all my departed
relatives. As I was watching people looking at the star,
I saw two girls hand their camera to a friend and
then they quickly laid down on the sidewalk one on
each side of the star. I jumped out of my hiding spot and
asked, "Can I lay down, too?" At first
they were shocked I was there, and then we took this
picture. I took some more pix with a few
more fans then figured I better hit the road back. It was
a nice birthday.
Thanks for all the
donations this year on behalf of my birthday!
I really want to
thank ALL the fans all over the world that made the
Hollywood Walk of Fame Star possible.......... It really
belongs to you.
Thanks for making
me a part of it.
This e-mail
address will ONLY be up from January 24th to February 1st to
ask me questions. Sometime after that I'll answer
as many as I can. The address is SPquestions@fanasylum.com (see below)
All the very best
to you and yours,
