Steve Perry is setting the record straight.
On Thursday, February 19, the former Journey frontman shared a direct message to fans on Facebook addressing growing rumors that he might rejoin the band ahead of its planned 2026 farewell tour.
To all my friends –I’ve been hearing these recent rumors, and I wanted to speak to you all directly. While I’m always grateful for the love people still have for Journey, the rumors about me rejoining the band are simply not true, and I want to gently put them to rest.
I completely understand why people would hope for that. The music we created together means a great deal to me too. But I’m continuing to explore new creative work and really enjoy working on new music that reflects where I am today.
Thank you for your continued support throughout the years. Your loyalty has never gone unnoticed, and I am forever humbly grateful.
Sincerely,Steve Perry
The statement quickly drew more than 1,000 comments, with fans expressing both understanding and lingering hope.
“Totally understandable. But here’s a thought…..maybe a short cameo before it’s too late? You will always be the defining voice of Journey. Bless you and best of luck on your next musical creation,” wrote one fan.
Another commented, “A forever vocal hero! Your Catalog is like the Olympics of vocal virtuosity. I get what you're saying -you can still sing and create -Just doesn't need to be at 11 all the time:) Been there done that ?.”
Others continued to float the idea of a one-time appearance during Journey’s reported farewell run.
“If this is the final tour for Journey, it would be a tribute to the fans for Steve to do a few dates. Make it for charity or fire relief, whatever that he feels appropriate. The fans deserve one more show!” one person wrote.
“Probably a good idea. People would fight in the streets over tickets,” another added.
The renewed speculation about a possible reunion intensified earlier this week amid discussion surrounding Journey’s upcoming 2026 tour. Band members have publicly acknowledged that Perry was invited to participate in some capacity, fueling online debate about whether a surprise appearance could happen.
For now, however, Perry has made his position clear.
While he continues to speak respectfully about Journey’s legacy and the music they created together, he says he is focused on new creative work rather than returning to the band.
