From a 2011 interview, I didn't know he had arthritis

Perry said he and Journey members don't speak directly to each other about authorizing the use of songs, or much about anything else, but instead work through representatives to reach agreement.

In recent years, he says he's received offers to appear on "Glee" and to serve as a judge on "American Idol," where friend and former bandmate Randy Jackson is a judge. But he's turned those and other offers down because, he explains, he's not a "front-camera guy."

Lately, Perry's been dabbling in film editing and writing music for a possible solo album, a challenging process after years of being away from the music business.

"I'm going to be recording sometime soon," said Perry.

He said he's recorded three cover songs recently, but would only disclose that one was a Beatles tune and that he has played his new music for just a few friends privately.

Perry said his signature voice, which stretches for high and long notes in many of his songs, is in good shape overall. At one point in the interview, telling a story about one of Journey's first tours, he broke into the Journey song "Feeling That Way."

Physically, though, he's battled health issues. He had hip replacement surgery 13 years ago, and has struggled with a "pretty substantial amount of arthritis that's not comfortable."

"I live on anti-inflammatories," Perry said, noting that he has had some arthritis-related surgeries over the years since he left Journey.

Still, he says he's feeling good overall. He even left open the possibility of touring again — just not with Journey.

"We have severely, emotionally gone our separate ways."

Watching some old interviews of Darren and Chris, I came across this interview related to the People magazine shoot. And I quickly realized something quite interesting.

In the interview, Darren is describing his perfect date night: “Perfect date depends on who the person is really. It would involve probably a lot of conversation. I’m very basic. I love going to the theater so I would like to go to see a play or see a musical anywhere and afterwards have some dinner and talk about it. Kind of really talk about what we just experienced. Conversation is probably the most important part of a date for me.”

This sounds familiar. Darren has said that after his first day on set, he went to a concert and dinner with Chris. So coming back to his previous comment, just replace a play/musical with a concert, add dinner and conversation, and we have pretty much proven that they had the perfect first date (at least in Darren’s opinion) whether it was intended as a date or not.
