SP tidbit

[TigerBite]

I think he looks damn good for almost 60.

Crap, almost sixty, filthy rich, BTDT when it comes to the gruelling road, and you loons want him to come out of retirement?

You guys ARE nuts!

I am not one wanting him out of "retirement". BUT, it is nice to see him walking among the living.
If he doesn't look happy, well then only he knows the reason.
As for those "mysterious" red marks, maybe those are just signs of aging? As WE ALL get older, weird things happen to our skin. We become, gasp, "flawed". SP is not exempt from the rigors of aging. Sorry if that is painful for some of you to hear.

Ahhhh........you beat me too it Krista!

And who the hell is coloring his hair! I need the business card. Well done, Steve Perry!

The man has friggin amazingly healthy hair and skin! That was one thing I noticed, must be the Porteguese genes.

You know I can't resist running through a gaggle of Loons, JW. Sorry to ruin your warm fuzzy.

Niggy, for some reason the visual of that just cracked me right up!

[SteveForever]

this is funny. my fiance and I are planning a wedding. I was stumbling around one of the wedding planning sites and found this page that had SP on it. You might get a kick out of it.

This thread needs to be a sticky.
He looks beautiful and the suit is gorgeous!

....whatca doin to me now.......

Like a breath of fresh air
I look up thru the eyes of ordinary fare
to see you melts away a minion of despair
for my heart reaches where none have dared

Reading through this thread and seeing the questions about SP's neck scar,reminded me of all that suff I've been reading about for so many years,concerning vocal cord issues.
Vocal cord surgery doesn't go through the neck.For nodules,polyps and any similar v. cords affections,the surgical procedure is done on the inside of the throat.

UNLESS...There is a vocal cord paralysis issue.When both vocal cords (vocal folds) are paralysed,that will cause major breathing problems and the treatment procedure involves a tracheotomy.
However,there are other methods to treat vocal paralysis nowadays so tracheotomy is avoided.

In SP's case,I believe it's what Cat and her doctor friend said...That was a mole or some other external skin problem he had taken care of,not a vocal cord issue.
That scar is not a tracheotomy scar - it would have to be in the middle,in the lower part of his throat under Adam's apple... and it's not.

[SPFan4ever]

He still looks handsome! Classy guy in his suit.

[texafana]

I'm not convinced this was only a few months ago. If it is, he's getting back into shape and looking quite nice. Perhaps it's time to hit the road soon?

But damn....look at those vocal chord muscles showing, wow...the source of his power. Amazing...

[treetopovskaya]

sp is one smokin` hot grandpa! he looks gorgeous as ever. love the white rose.

xo

[Shadowsong]

Saw him in early July
in shorts & at a baseball game.
I was buying hotdogs...LOL

OOOh maybe it was a mirage
but it was a sweet moment of delirium

[Rick]

I still think he's not done. Something is coming from SP.

[Just Sara]

[TRAGChick]

I still think he's not done. Something is coming from SP.

Agreed.

At this stage of his life, and being in the Music Business for 30 years...

...the man DOES NOT live in a "vacuum".

He HAD to know that somehow, these pics were gonna be "picked up"...and they were...

I mean, the 1st shot - it looked like he was saying, "Shall we dance?". It definitely wasn't your everyday, "Say CHEESE!" moment.

Thanks *Laura

He had several. This is a sample

Whatever it is, he needs to sing it!

Like, "I'm off to the grocery store. I'm off to take a crap." You know we'd buy it! Coming to a theater near you, SP THE MUSICAL, starring the voice and his gaggle of loons, I mean, fans.

"OH REALLY"!!!!



I just want him to do what feels right!
& if I could watch
all the better!

I really feel his apprehension
Are we wanting more than he can give?

If he does any thing
I see it as a small one time benefit thing

He came to the HWOF
Magic
It was heaven
Nothing can ever top those few days for me

Nothing!

[PROPERRY]

That's a real great picture of him! He looks SO fine!!!

I'm not entirely sure that's a scar in that pic. I know some people have said they've seen what looked like scars in pics before, but think about this. He's a wealthy man who can afford the very best in cosmetic surgery. He's also a very private man. Why would he allow a scar as big as that one appears to be when he knows it would cause this kind of speculation?

My daughter was in an automobile accident when she was 15. It broke the C5 vertebrae. Her surgery was a miracle because she could very easily have been paraplegic, but several of the posters here met her at DCVader's last May 11. They went in from the front and she has a scar, but it's not as big as what looks like a scar on Steve's neck in that pic. We were told that a cosmetic surgeon could eliminate the scar, but that our insurance wouldn't pay for it.

The point being that Steve probably would have had a cosmetic surgeon eliminate the scar, whatever the reason for the surgery.

I am sorry that happened to her. She was very lucky. I had a next door neighbor that was a quadraraplegic, couldn't even use the bathroom. His mother would have to come in and disimpact him. I had an ex who was a paraplegic. Not fun at all.

Dry it up, crybaby. Pardon the cliche but age is just a number. I don't judge based on it, and I'd expect the same of others. Most of my friends are your age if not 5 years +/- that.

Hey!

No wonder I like you... you run with the big dogs and don't pee like a puppy (love that saying). I've always had a certain portion of friends that were 5+ years older than me - that's how I was able to get into bars at 17 and never get thrown out or even carded.

I feel for you, we canceled a few flights up your way this week. Dig out and go party!

Yep! I did more drinking in bars before I was 21 than I have after. In fact, my "wild oats" as far as booze goes were sewn my last year of college. The majority of my friends are in their 30s. I just happened to be not only the baby in the family, but the baby in whatever group I run with. I can't stand people my own age.

I love that saying, too.
