Journey guitarist Neal Schon recently responded positively to former bandmate Steve Perry’s announcement regarding auctioning personal items for charity, as reported on Neal Schon’s X account.
Perry recently announced his upcoming charitable auction featuring various memorabilia and personal items. Schon’s reaction came in response to this announcement.
“My personal charitable auction launches in 24 hours!” Perry announced.
“Featuring handwritten lyrics, gold records, AMG-graded and signed albums, gear, and more. Stay tuned!”
Schon responded with support for his former bandmate’s charitable initiative.
“This is awesome Steve,” Schon commented.
The auction represents Perry’s effort to share pieces of his musical legacy while supporting charitable causes. This positive interaction between the two musicians reflects their enduring connection. Perry departed from Journey decades ago.
Wikipedia documented that Steve Perry’s involvement with Journey began in 1977 when he joined the band as lead vocalist. This marked a significant shift from their earlier progressive rock sound to a more pop-oriented style. This transformation proved highly successful for the band’s commercial appeal.
