Last night, Journey was inducted into the Rock’n’Roll Hall of Fame and both singers were there to accept it. Although there were rumors that Steve Perry would perform with the band since they went their separate ways 1991, he did not. He did give a speech a thanking the band.
To show there was no ill will between Perry and Arnel Pineda, the new singer shared the above photo and said, “One of the sweetest hug you can ever get from one of my heroes and silent mentors..it means the world to me..waited 35 years for this moment..thank you Almighty Gd!! #TheVoice #StevePerry #oneofthemostmemorable #maximumblessings
Thank you so much Mr Steve Perry for your priceless words and graciousness..
@taratogs @curachalang @yulsession @journeymusicofficial” Yul Session also shared a photo of himself with the two Journey singers and you can see how excited they are to be together at last. They are beaming ear to ear.
When it comes to band being honored by the Hall of Fame, all I have to say is it took them long enough. The band deserved the recognition for a long time because not only has their music been the voice of generation, it has also been part of a some television’s most iconic moments from Glee’s first episode to The Sopranos’ last frame. That speaks, or should I say sings, more than a lot of other singer and bands who were inducted before them. Next up Duran Duran.
But I digress. When it comes to Perry and Journey, I wish they would have performed together yesterday. To me, he will always be their voice and no one can replace him. Yes I know, Pineda sounds just like him, but I am Steve Perry girl faithfully. I don’t stop believin’ that some day we might hear them all together one more time. Just like The Police, who did not perform at the induction, but did go on tour together years afterwards. How awesome would that be? The fans would welcome them with open arms!
