Former Journey<\/a> frontman Steve Perry<\/a> has posted a stunning a cappella rendition of the 1963 Beach Boys classic \u201cIn My Room.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I was a teenager in my room, this song gave me comfort,\u201d he wrote in an attached note. \u201cStay safe.\u201d<\/p>\n

Perry emerged from a long hiatus in 2018 with the release of his solo LP Traces.<\/em> He did not support it with a tour nor any sort of promotional live performance. He hasn\u2019t played in front of a live audience since he briefly guested with the Eels at a couple of shows in 2014 and hasn\u2019t done a full show since his 1995 solo tour.<\/p>\n

His absence from the stage led to persistent rumors about the state of his singing voice. \u201cI have my vocal box checked all the time,\u201d he told Rolling Stone<\/em> in 2018.<\/a> \u201cI have no nodules on it. I have a really good doctor\u2026She\u2019s really able to see them well and, knock on wood, nothing wrong with my voice. The only thing is I didn\u2019t really use if for a while, but it\u2019s like working out when you begin using it again.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the time of that interview, he said he was still trying to decide whether or not to tour. \u201cRight now it\u2019s premature to even guess,\u201d he said. \u201cBut there would be no way in the world I\u2019d go out there and not sing Journey music, too. It would be solo and Journey together.\u201d<\/p>\n

But he did acknowledge it would be difficult for him. \u201cThose songs are vocally challenging,\u201d he said. \u201cThey\u2019re challenging for [current Journey singer] Arnel [Pineda] and everyone else. They\u2019re not easy. They were challenging for me when I wrote the damn melodies, but back then I was young and in my Olympic singer mode. \u2026 There\u2019s nothing wrong with lowering a key. We\u2019re not spring chickens.\u201d<\/p>\n

Perry reunited with his former Journey bandmates onstage at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony in 2017, but he did not sing with them. He hasn\u2019t done that since a one-off show in 1991 honoring the late Bill Graham.<\/p>\n

Anyone who thinks he can\u2019t handle the vocal strain, look no further than this new video. His voice remains strong.<\/p>\n
