Reba McEntire confirmed on Larry King only moments ago (this evening) that in creating her Duets CD she asked Steve Perry to come and sing with her and he declined due to other things. She said he was very quick with his email response. She said the 2 she really wanted was Annie Lennox and Steve Perry.

Her CD Reba Duets debuted at number 1 on the Billboard 200.

He is a class act!Anyway NBC had a new show on tonight called Chuck.At one point Chuck's cell phone rings and the ring tone is AWYWI with Steve Perry singing this Journey song.Well if Neal doesn't know this yet he will be calling NBC for his money for use of this one.

Tragic news. He continues to decline awesome opportunities. He must simply not want to sing. Other than with shitty ass Guff and obscure David Pack.

That is the only conclusion one can draw from this.

I'm choking..... .............thanks Sir Shoot!

Between this and the news that they've actually hired Arnel to front Journey, I think I'll just go to bed and try not to think about it. Damn, how much more depressing can it get?

Yup. He must really not want it. If it was a concern about being accepted - I think he knows his fans want to hear him. And never mind that an album by Reba would sell well - obviously, debuting at number 1. Just too damn bad.

It just boggles the mind doesn't it?
Reba, who is a class act and has talent beyond yet still the man says no.
What the fuck the problem is Steve?.......damn.

Oh I don't know lady, I find it to be a big belly shaker.
At least we all have each other in South Bend.

I'll second the depression feeling

I think Steve Perry needs a pep talk from AR. Ed, let him have it.

Someone squeeze him by "Oh Sherrie" until some notes come out!

Why the fuck is it "so depressing?"


please explain.

1-Perry can't sing anylonger and

2- Arnel is what. non American?

You people are fucking blockheads...simply stupid at times.

To continue to debate Espee is borderline Reardonish.

Finally....a LOON that gets it.

Maybe SP doesn't sound as good as HE thinks he should, and that's why he chooses to stay in retirement. If that's the case, you have to give him props for having enough artistic integrity to know when to quit. It would be nice to hear him even just one more time, though.

Lmao Dean! I have known this for ages! It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out.......... or does it?
Now watch me get flack for this.......... I am ready.......

ok so his reason for declining is that he is doing other things.........it would be nice if we knew what those other things were.............

so obviously it has been several months since she asked him....so what HAS he been doing all these months????

The case is, Nik, that Perry doesn't tell his fans that he is retired from singing. He just spouts the same shit year after year saying he thinks about it all the time. I would say to him "shit or get off the pot"!

Ya know I love ya Sall, but I full on agree with Nikki here. And really, it's his life, he doesn't have to tell us shit. Why fully shut a door that he doesn't know if he may open again one day. I mean really, if a fan is literally hanging on that, then they are the one that needs to "shit or get off the pot".

he doesn't sing publicly anymore because his voice is damaged. like herbie said, he lost his talent, think karma.

one only needs to listen to Trial by Fire versus Infinity to hear the decline. he doesn't want to tarnish his image as one of the greatest rock n' roll singers of all time. at least we got 10 good years of him at his peak on record to listen to over n' over.
