Neal Schon talks about Steve Perry
Schon opened up on the current state of his relationship with the former Journey vocalist. He explained his recent attempts to reconnect.
“We don’t dialogue, it’s not because I’m not willing to. I reached out and wrote him [Steve Perry] an e-mail, I’m sure it still is his e-mail because he did reach back to me about a year ago through the e-mail,” Schon said. “And I invited him to the Giants game because I knew that he was a fan as well and because he was gonna be there.”
The guitarist went on to express his disappointment with Perry’s lack of response to his invitation.
“It’d be cool just to catch up and hang out and watch a ball game. And I never heard anything back,” he continued. “So, I mean you can’t keep chasing something that just not interested in.”
The comments indicate a change in Schon’s approach to staying in touch with his former bandmate, following what seems to have been an unreciprocated gesture of friendship.
This recent development highlights the complicated history between the two Journey legends. Their relationship has seen both positive and negative moments over the years, with documented tensions between Schon and Perry. A range of professional and personal conflicts has influenced their bond since Perry left the band.
