Rock fans were in for a treat Thursday when one of the greatest frontmen in rock history made a rare appearance in Los Angeles.
The legendary vocalist, now 76, who fronted one of the most iconic bands of the ’70s and ’80s and scored eight multiplatinum albums, was all smiles as he stepped out for a grocery run at the upscale Erewhon market.
Wearing a Stanford T-shirt and casual shorts, the singer—once dubbed ‘The Voice‘ by Jon Bon Jovi thanks to his soaring range—looked nearly unrecognizable from his arena-rock days with Journey.
Adding to the surprise, Perry didn’t show up solo—he arrived with rumored new flame Suzette Vaughn, a marriage and family therapist turning heads right beside him.
The sighting comes decades after the rock legend famously sang about a past love in one of his biggest solo hits Oh Sherrie.
So, can you guess who this iconic lead singer is?

If you guessed Steve Perry — you were Faithfully correct.
Little is publicly known about Perry’s relationship with Vaughn.
However, one of the most significant relationships in his life was with psychologist Kellie Nash, who passed away from breast cancer in December 2012.
Before her death, Nash made the former Journey frontman—then 63—promise not to retreat from the world again.
‘One night she said, “If something was to ever happen to me, promise that you won’t go back into isolation, for I think it would make this all for naught,”‘ Perry recalled during a 2018 interview on CBS Sunday Morning.
‘But I had to make the promise, and I said, “I promise.”‘
That promise became a turning point in Perry’s life, ultimately leading to his emotional return to music after years out of the spotlight.
Perry left Journey twice—first in 1987, then officially in 1998.

After the Raised on Radio tour, he felt burned out and emotionally drained, so the band quietly went on hiatus.
He focused on solo work during this time, releasing For the Love of Strange Medicine in 1994.
In 1996, Journey reunited with Perry for the album Trial by Fire, but plans for a tour fell apart.
Perry injured his hip while hiking in Hawaii and hesitated to get surgery.
When the band was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in April 2018, it was Pineda—not Steve Perry—who performed their iconic 1981 hit Don’t Stop Believin’

When the band pressured him to commit, he refused—and officially left Journey for good in 1998.
Since December 2007, Journey’s lead singer has been Arnel Pineda, a former cover band vocalist from Manila, Philippines, discovered by guitarist Neal Schon through YouTube.
When the band was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in April 2018, it was Pineda—not Steve Perry—who performed their iconic 1981 hit Don’t Stop Believin’.
Asked about it, Perry made his position clear: ‘I’m not in the band,’ he said simply to the New York Times, adding, ‘It’s Arnel’s gig — singers have to stick together.’
