Steve Perry Says He 'Would Love Nothing More' Than To Perform Live Again

Steve Perry doesn't have any imminent plans to perform again, but the iconic former Journey frontman is open to arranging something in 2022.

While Perry was open to some live performances in support of his 2018 comeback album, Traces, none have yet materialized and the singer appears focused on writing and producing new music.

He revealed to Ultimate Classic Rock that he would "love nothing more than to be onstage again."

Perry's latest release is The Season, a holiday album. He says he's fielded proposals for residencies in New York and Las Vegas.

"It's been discussed, but nothing has been put together yet," Perry said. "I'm a spur of the moment guy. You never know — you might just see me in a nightclub singing a couple of Christmas songs."

Perry hasn't toured since releasing his second solo album in the mid-'90s. On more than one occasion he's suggested that Journey's unrelenting live schedule in the '80s played a part in driving him to retire the following decade.

Still, after so many years away, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame believes he has more to give to a live audience.

"There's a component of my voice that I can't find unless I'm in front of people," he said. "They bring something out of me that I can't find otherwise. I really hope that's something I get to participate in again."
