He hasn’t mounted a solo tour in 30 years – and last performed a full-length concert with Journey in 1987. “It’s something that I’m absolutely missing terribly,” Perry tells Rolling Stone. “I can’t even tell you how much, but there’s been a big soulful reclaiming of this original feeling that I had about singing that I needed to get back to. I didn’t want to go out and just turn the wheel or turn the crank.” Perry returned to solo work after a couple of decades away with 2018’s Traces, bu...

When rock stars come together and collaborate, they can create something truly memorable. That’s the case for every entry in our list of the 30 Greatest Duets in Rock History.
