May 13 2009: There is no truth whatsoever to the rumor about Steve Perry doing a show in Hawaii. Steve has graciously provided a statement via Fan Asylum:
"May 12, 2009.
I am posting this statement on fanasylum.com for it’s the only site I post my official statements.
Today I was made aware that there was an attempt to perpetrate a hoax on my most faithful fans.
It has been brought to my attention that there was an announcement of a show that I was supposedly to perform at in Hawaii.
This is absolutely a hoax and should be treated as such.
It has also been brought to my attention that several news sites are reporting that my management had cancelled the supposed performance. There were never any plans for any such performance made by me or anyone authorized by me. This is the first we have heard of this.
I’m only posting this out of concern for my faithful fans.
I encourage all news sites to post this statement, with the hope it will clarify the confusion brought about by this hoax.
I simply wanted you to know the truth.
Sincerely,
Steve Perry"
