Steve you have my full Respect. This is Kellie's brother and I am Thankful you kept your promise And Created this beautiful Gift (album) for Everyone. Just know my sister is in Heaven enjoying your music. You were and always will be Loved by her through Eternity! And I personally just wanna say Thank You. The other day was my earthday and this was such a Blessing to discover..the Album!
Thank you for sharing that Isiah. My deepest condolences to you & your family. My prayers & thoughts are with you all. God bless Kellie.
kimee910 Thank You
God bless Kellie! May she rest in Paradise until you meet again. My condolences to you and her family. She clearly touched Steve Perry in a most profound way, like no other ever has or ever will. She made a very positive impact on his life. Every one of us, his lifelong fans, has HER to thank for his return to his other passion. ❤
justicedenyd Bless You for that🙏Thank you.
It was no mistake or accident that Steve and Kellie met....even in their brief time together, she clearly had an impact on him that needed to be made, and it was made in spades. It's clear her time with him impacted him greatly, and it's clearer the promise she asked of him to keep had a more significant purpose than to just 'keep a promise...' she was looking out for him and encouraging him to move forward before he even reached the point where he DID. Bless her heart and soul for who she was!!!
The best part of this interview is that she didn't ask him about getting back to Journey.
- No I would have liked to hear that question. .. And then accept his answer.
So refreshing to hear a human being who is authentic and healed his soul from his life's experience.... a great singer too!
Mad props to the interviewer! She did such a great job!! And Steve always does! Really enjoyed this interview!! Thanks, Billboard!!
@Steve Perry Suzanne…don’t answer that post. He’s a hacker.
This kid probably wasn't even born when he last performed, and this turned out to be one of the best interviews out of his recent crop. Sometimes you really do just need a fresh perspective to ask new questions -- and thanks to her for asking a good, meaty technical question about vocal technique as well! Awesome interview.
Steve Perry has always struck me as an amazing artist and he doesn’t disappoint as a human ❤️ Sweet, sweet soul 🙏🏼
Btw this young woman is an exceptional interviewer 👌🏼
GREAT interview !!!!!!! Love his voice even when he is just talking. I have been a fan from 1983 until the present day. Thank you #StevePerry for the many years of music.
I just love Steve Perry he’s so down to earth in every way he is the best I love love love him ♥️
I liked her questions. The result was a good interview.
He is such a wonderful and amazing man! I enjoy his interviews so much. 😊
He's truly amazing.
I love him as artist and I love him as a human being.
All my life I have been listening his songs. And I will never stop..
My daughter already following my steps on this greatest time of music 80 s... 90's when would can heard, enjoy and share beautiful feelings. I'm so happy that he's back!!!!
Great interview. This young lady is the best interviewer Steve has sat down with. Excellent questions, soft professional demeanor, and she fuels the interview and also Steve’s responses.
Steve Perry is always the best G.O.A.T=Greatest Of All Time=Steve Perry...Greetings from KK Sabah,Malaysia🇲🇾🇲🇾✌🇲🇾🇲🇾
Best interview because the interviewer was so warm and Steve looked relaxed. So intelligent and interesting about the music industry. Very enjoyable. Different questions. Critics really don't matter, he is singing for himself and all of us.
Right.....The fake Steve Perry and his delusions, and his being toast, and his psychiatrist friend. Mash all that up and see what you get. He's always so "toast". Not toasty but "burnt toast" or just plain burnt.

Thank you..i thought so.
The one interview I wish lasted for hours. The interviewer is going places, I'm glad she was able to sincerely bring out Steve's honesty, where other interviewers seem so contrived and many times rushed. Lovely discussion 😄👏👏👏
I feel like i'm in a candy store just can't get enough!!! His Voice is Unique I'm sorry maybe i'm a little honest no one can Top Steve there many bands in the 80's NO voice like his Thank You for coming back!!!

Very good interview, excellent interviewer
Lyndsey did a superb conversational interview with Steve here. One of the most interesting ones yet. To hear her questions that were well informed opened the door for him to share more about making his music, his thinking process, his views on the industry, and his passion for music. A gracious conversation on both sides.
Gabby Sojourner well said👍
@@isaiahallan8869 Thank you Isaiah. Our love to you and your family. Kellie inspired me and who knows how many others through her appearance in "Five" as I, too, had breast cancer. Her attitude in that brief shot imprinted on me the joy for life that we who fight against cancer can still enjoy in the face of the brutal attack on our bodies. A friend of mine @ChickNorris55 and I have initiated a small discussion on Twitter called #YaYaS for others who have battled cancer either themselves or with loved ones so as to provide at least a bit of support and encouragement for those who are Warriors against cancer. Kellie was a Bright Light that still shines through so many inspired by her. Thank you for sharing her with us.
Gabby Sojourner Thank You for mentioning that. My sister certainly loved others. She wanted to help and save others. Bless You for your testimony as well. I am glad you won your battle. My sister will be forever missed...though I can feel the love again its hard to describe but I am Thankful he did this album. Traces. He's real people. Respect. Bless
Gabby Sojourner Kellie certainly was a Bright Light. Thank You on her behalf. I agree... my sister always seemed to be able to cheer me up. I wouldn't wish cancer on anyone.I hope she still shines like a bright light for any whom she inspired. God Thank you for your beautiful comments. We can Never give up.
Gabby Sojourner 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊God IS Love😊😊😊So so well written! Love the healthy energy..each healthy response is the furthest I have come in healing process. It further proves to me there is A God..the majority of my healing has taken place since learning of "Traces"... its given me hope and filled my heart with Love...and trust it needed a refill. God has a plan for all of us...she just went before us..and Yes I can feel her looking out..Gods grace and mercy. Warriors Indeed!!
What a terrific interview! Kudos to Billboard.
Steve Im busting with pride and joy for you.
She did an amazing job with this interview. Steve is a class act and I wish him all the best.
One of the best interviews that I have seen. She was awesome, asked great questions and she came across as just having an nice conversation with Steve, so easy going. Steve is amazing as usual!
I've always adored this man! It does my heart good to see and hear him in good spirits like this.
I would buy every album you decide to come out with-Love You Always. Perry on 😘

This is a real classy gentleman.
Opening his Heart and life was Never easy for him Thank you for sharing to us even though it is as a part of a marketing campaing due your new Traces album launching.
It's been so nice listening something out of your personal life or simply for you after all these years.
This is so Welcome For us All times fans
And, I’m so glad he found his passion for music again! Love Traces and The Season! So great to hear his amazing voice! #StevePerry #FTLOSP
Been listening to and LOVING the new album... but this interview was the 1st time I heard you say that there might be some shows?!?!? I jumped up with a HUGE "YES!" Please oh please, in some form or fashion, do some shows! Solo shows, with Journey, it doesn't matter. Do you know how much joy it would bring to so many people to be able to see you sing live after all these years? Goose bumps just thinking about it. Woo hoo!
Glad he's back! I really looking forward to listening to him!
You are Blessed. You will never lose her..she may have passed but She is very much with you and loving you still..she will love you thru eternity. Bless you Steve.
I think God blessed Steve in alot of ways
Great interview! I think I have watched every interview in the past month. This was so nice to hear new questions. I hope he tours.
Who is this interviewer? She is very present, thoughful and insightful beyond her years. Fantastic interview.
Listening to this interview, it is obvious that Steve had real guts to walk away and admit he needed to take care of himself. In the language of 2021 people are now more understanding of this issue but not in the late 1980'a or 1990's. He sounds very real and very grounded and I am so happy he found love with Dr. Kellie Nash and I am thankful she convinced him to not stay in isolation and now we have him back. Welcome Back Steve, we missed you and your music.
I have always been so touched with this man. His voice has always been my favorite. Love this interview. Glad he is back!
This girl is doing very good questions. Thank you Billboard for this interview to Steve Perry.
I agree. At first I thought.... oh she’s so young she won’t do him justice with questions.... boy was I wrong!! Much respect 👌
She's not a girl, she's a smart intelligent young lady, or young woman.

The interviewer is a definate star, excellent questions, speaking voice and response to Perry. As for Perry...👍🏽 G.O.A.T
I've watched so many interviews about Perry's new music. This is my favorite one of all of them. The questions were great. He answered them with more ease and let out answers that seemed honest and heartfelt. It was as if he were just having a conversation with a friend.

I 💕 you Steve perry always have always will!!!!
I just saw this and I have to say that this interviewer did such a good job! She was intelligent and caring and she didn't show any kind of nervousness around his celebrity.
This is such a wonderful interview! "The broken heart is the good news"..... Right on Mr. Perry
Love listening to him do interviews.Hes got such a easy voice.Love you Steve Perry! Keep the music coming!

STEVE PERRY, É PERFEITO.. VOZ MARAVILHOSA... ELE É TUDO DE BOM., ATÉ HJ..❤❤❤
What a wonderful interview ! Love this man. 🙏🏼💖🎶🎵💓💕💗❤️💋🤗
god bless all your new songsthey are greatjust as great as you areonce again bless you
No matter what song he plays or sing... it just so Beautiful Voice to enjoy a life time!
This is really the best interview I have seen of Steve, excellent job!
Well Steve you can't sing if you are dead...I'm glad you had the balls to cover your health over people they come and go unfortunately. But a true fan of yours would understand you had to step away from the music...I'm glad you did sir you are a once in a lifetime singer...you are unrivaled at what you do...at 69 you are a better singer than so called stars in their prime...roll on Steve Perry train roll on buddy you are simply the best that's ever been or will be...your my favorite...
Why is it so hard for people to get the fact that no one can work forever all the days of their lives without rest to preserve one's health and sanity?... Machines break down, parts wear out and have to be replaced or turn to scrap, this man is using a human instrument with cords and using those cords nonstop year after freaking year, don't they know that they can get damaged or go bad and they cannot be replaced.OMG😳
Excellent interview! Steve Perry you are so honest and open and that takes a lot of guts! The interviewer was excellent and had questions that were unique at least what I have heard up to this point.
Thank you Steve Perry music for pointing me in the right direction! 🙏🙏🙏

BEST INTERVIEW ! Out of the many interviews I've watched--same questions, same responses just worded differently, this by far was the most revealing of Steve's journey (that pun was not intentional-really!) back to music. Welcome back, Uncle Steve !! 💖😊🎶
Excellent interview Steve thank you for giving us your beautiful self and your amazing voice

Long time fan, but not fanatic. I have admired the way Steve has crafted not only his songs, but his singing. That he is rediscovering his joy and passion, is a gift to all of us who share in his musicality. I am drawn to Steve as a singer - I used his voice to warm up with all those moons ago-but not just to mimic-when you are into your music deeply as I hope I was at the time, I listened to his vocal craftsmanship. The nuances come from life experiences; already nearly 30 when he joined Journey - his voice had experience, depth. His vocal shadings, control, range and style on his newest album continue to mesmerize me; I listen with headphones on. Only by living a life of love and loss - if you are a singer and lucky enough to articulate through writing - do you get the subtleties of phrasing he has. I am drawn to him as a singer, but also as a human being; he is someone you can talk with, and someone who listens. I have also learned so much from him regarding music and songwriting; I would think he'd be a great teacher - one that inspires and offers life-work-experiences over one who preaches. I'd give anything to have his presence in a recording studio and share coffee with.
Steve I love the way you thought all this out your way no one telling you what to say or sing so natural good interview and I'm glad she didn't bring up the past or about going back to journey he gets disappointed cause this is about him and when he left it was about him amazing Steve :) and your wearing my favorite colors. Purple n black :)
Here for a purpose and wouldn’t be here if he didn’t listen to his “higher self” you, Steve Perry are needed and here for something much bigger than ego and self.... Beautiful Soul.
You are a really great human being.
Amazing interview 🙏 👀
steve all kidding aside you are so greatjesus gave you such a great voicei know you worked hard for everything you haveim glad you went on your ownbless you

Coolest guy ever!
Excellent interviewer...she did a fantastic job.
He looks like Marc almond. Good interview. Omg do some shows oh YES!!!!!
a great listen on how SP creates music. love it!
Isaiah , I think it was you who thanked me for my comment for your beautiful sister, she and Steve May not have had long together but I get the feeling they packed as much into that short time. I truly think Steve is now more comfortable in his own Skin and I think that’s down to your sisters love for him. Even though he was a broken man when he lost her , he now new what real true all encompassing love is like. So he I think feels free to open up and let people in . What a gift she gave him and I’m sure he’d agree that Dr Kellie Nash bought more to his life before he met her. Not only was she beautiful inside and out she had the greatest smile, and she looked so happy too be where she was on his arm. That was a gift too her as well, because his love for her new no bounds and she had that great love even if too us it doesn’t seem very long. Do you know he still talks about her with such love and respect it eases your heart a bit too know just how much she was loved . 🎼♥️🇦🇺♥️🇺🇸
Steve stated that you never get over loosening someone, it gets better, but you never get over it. Can you imagine the thousands of women that Steve could of had,yet he chose Kellie. This proves that true love comes straight from the heart. He said that he felt something when he saw her smile. He let his heart lead him to true love. He said he loved her before he met her. 😅
love this
Wonderful interview! This journalist knows what questions to ask.
I liked her questions, the Result was a good interview ma'am,...❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🤝🤝🤝👊👊👊
I am SO thankful she didn't ask that dreadful question, "Do you think you'll ever re-join Journey?" (or something to that effect).
Very good interview.
Am.not.stupid.

Hmmmmmm.......🤔
Forgive me I hate to be questioning ; just thinking the real Steve Perry would not have use this venue to tell me I was chosen out of hundreds of responses he would get from a video, but that’s the world we live in we have to wonder about everything. If you are the real
Steve Perry, I know that my best thoughts and prayers are with you.
And if you’re not Steve,
Shame on you for this spam 😠
@Steve Perry I really can’t see how you could convince me you’re the real Steve
, just words on a page
some guy sitting in the kitchen on his laptop,
Picking people to send funny messages out to.
I don’t see any possible way you can prove that you’re actually Steve Perry ,
so let’s just drop this whole thing.
