Journey's Jonathan Cain Reacts To Steve Perry's Live Return

(hennemusic) Journey keyboardist Jonathan Cain is sharing his thoughts on former bandmate Steve Perry's recent return to the live stage after a 20-year absence.

In the past couple of months, Perry teamed up with alternative rock band EELS to sing some Journey classics at shows in St. Paul, Minnesota, Washington, DC and Los Angeles, creating a major buzz and fueling speculation that he and Journey may reconnect.

"I think it's great that he broke the ice and went out with the Eels and performed," Cain tells writer Michael Cavacini in a new interview. "I think it needed to happen. You get a monkey off your back. You get out in front of the people and feel what that feels like. I'm very happen for him that he has embraced this concept of, "This is who I am today and I don't sing like I used to sing." I think he'll enjoy it and embrace it."

"He deserves to be out there on stage," he continued. "I think it's wonderful. I could never understand why he seemed to be in recluse mode, hiding away somewhere. When you're Steve Perry, one of the greatest voices of all time, you should be on a stage where you belong. So, good for him. I'm happy he's out there flexing his chops." more on this story
