Stuck in the 80's NEW interview with Steve!
Steve Perry says he's happy. And the former Journey frontman wants to make sure all his fans know it.
"If I could tell my fans anything right now, it would be that I want them to know I am happy," Perry told Stuck in the '80s in an epic interview to promote the release of Journey's Greatest Hits Vol. 2. "I was happy being in front of them every night. They lifted me to places I could not go without them. My voice was actually their voice because I had to go get it because they wanted to hear it."
In an hour-long interview, Steve talked with Steve Spears about touring the country during the early days of Journey ("We never stopped. A day off wasn’t a day off; it was a travel day. That's how you did it back then. It was like running for public office."), his feelings about Neal Schon ("Neal and I have had our problems over the years. We probably don't like each other very much, because we had a lot of time together. But I know we love each other...") and even touch on his relationship with the girl who inspired Oh Sherrie ("The truth is that it's hard to navigate a relationship when you’re in the midst of such a ride.").

Steve was contacted by various media outlets for his thoughts on the untimely death of Michael Jackson. Excerpts may appear in other publications such as Life Magazine & Billboard Magazine.
What are some of your memories of working with Michael Jackson on "We Are The World"
I was originally contacted by Lionel Richie’s manager, Ken Kragen who told me that Lionel & Michael had written a song called “We Are The World” for a project they were doing together called U.S.A. For Africa. He wanted to know if I was interested in joining the choir with many other recording artists. I said, “Sure...that would be fantastic!” The next thing I knew I was at A&M studios in Hollywood in a room full of so many artists that I grew up with and admired.
