Perry WAS fired from the band in 1998.
I should have been a reporter, getting paid to write incorrect stories.

So what ... that doesn't mean anything. For years, Robert Lamm & the 3 horn players said they want to work again with Peter Cetera. Their one chance for a reunion ... after PC already made public announcement that he wanted to sing with the band in their RnRHoF induction ... those guys shut the door.
We shall wait to see what happens with Journey.

I know we all look forward to speaking that evening and I’m sure we all wish that Terry was there to join us. That can’t happen unfortunately, but I have one thing that can.
As a finale, we can walk onstage together one last time as a group, I’ll strap on the bass, and we can do 25or6to4 in the key of E. I believe it would make for one fantastic Hall of Fame moment and satisfy those who have always wanted some sort of reunion.
Along with your current members, I would also like us to invite past members Laudir de Oliveira, Donnie Dacus, Kenny Cetera, Chris Pinnick, and Bill Champlin to join us up there as well on the song. They’ve all contributed to the legacy of the group and I think this would be a fitting way to honor them.
In the end, this should go a long way towards healing old wounds and showing solidarity on that night. At least I hope so!
