Steve Perry, the iconic singer-songwriter, has addressed recent rumors regarding his potential return to the legendary rock band Journey. In a post on social media, Perry expressed gratitude for the continued love and support the band receives from fans but clarified that the speculation about his rejoining is simply untrue. He acknowledged the significance of the music they created together and suggested an understanding of why fans would desire his return.

Perry emphasized that he is currently focused on exploring new creative projects and enjoying the process of producing new music that reflects his current artistic journey. This statement comes at a time when Journey is gearing up for a farewell tour across North America, which further adds a layer of finality and nostalgia for fans who have followed the band's incredible career since its formation in 1973.

Journey, known for their classic hits such as 'Don’t Stop Believin’', 'Faithfully', and 'Open Arms', was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2017. The upcoming farewell tour marks an important chapter for the band and its fans, with Perry's reaffirmation of his desire to pursue solo interests indicating a definitive separation from the group's future activities.
