Former-Journey frontman Steve Perry took to social media to post his rendition of the Beach Boys' 1963 classic, “In My Room.” Perry posted a message to fans before singing his acapella take on the Brian Wilson and Gary Usher ballad: “When I was a teenager isolating in my room, this song gave me comfort. Stay safe. Steve”
Now that Steve Perry is back and riding high on the success of his 2018 Top 10 comeback album, Traces, we asked him point blank if he was aware of how much his fans were clamoring for new music from him over the past 25 years: “Honestly, no. I had to have the strength to keep walking away from it and not look back. I didn't build in a back door, like, 'If this doesn't work out, I can always go back to the band.' No, no. I kind of had to build in a strong conviction, trying to find some string emotional, logical, and spiritual way for me to just build me up from the ground up again.”
