In this episode, hosts Trina Laird and Laurie McDermott discuss Steve Perry’s surprising departure from the iconic band Journey. Unlike the typical midlife crisis marked by affairs or scandals, Perry’s crisis was a soul-searching journey. Despite his success and the adoration of fans, he felt a deep disconnection from his music and lost his passion for performing. This led to him leaving the band at the peak of his career. The hosts reflect on how Perry’s bandmates might have felt betrayed and consider how honest communication could have perhaps altered his decision.
