He didn’t leave Journey, Journey left him. He was diagnosed with a degenerative bone disease and couldn’t perform in their 1996 comeback tour which caused it to be cancelled. Perry wanted to avoid any major surgery if at all possible. Neal Schon (guitar) and Jonathan Cain (Keyboard/piano) waited 13 months for him to return, but couldn’t wait any longer and decided to replace him with the temporary front man Steve Augeri.
