journey

As in most things with this pop-rock juggernaut of a band, Steve Perry looms large.

These legends are still going strong four decades after performing on some of 1986's most popular tours.

These bands are loud, anthemic and can electrify the masses.

An additional leg has been added to the San Francisco group's ongoing farewell tour, starting in September in Los Angeles.

Why is the singer talking about a "new chapter"?

"All our fans should know we were waiting and were ready to play," explained keyboardist Jonathan Cain.

Wives, Steve Perry's mother, two bandmates, an agreed-upon LP title, and even the tapes themselves were lost along the way.

Long-running frontman says he twice tried to step away prior to the launch of their Final Frontier dates.

"I hate all these attorneys. It’s so nuts."

Here's why the singer was "really not happy" with how the band planned their long goodbye.
