EXCLUSIVE: You Won’t Believe Who This ’70s Rocker Is! One of the greatest lead singers of all time is embracing his new look with open arms – can you guess who this reclusive frontman is?
He is considered by many to be one of the greatest singers of all time.
The talented American frontman reached the peak of his career in the late 1970s to early 1980s with his iconic band.
His incredible voice can be heard on some of the greatest rock ballads in history, leading to his former band being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2017.
He left his famous band decades ago and has become more reclusive in recent years, looking almost unrecognizable during his most recent performance.

It’s Steve Perry, the former Journey frontman!
The 74-year-old talented singer was spotted out for a walk in Los Angeles on Tuesday when he rocked long gray hair for the first time after decades of sporting jet-black locks.
Despite being relatively estranged from the industry, the star still seems to have a great love for music as he wore large over-the-ear headphones on the walk.
The Open Arms hitmaker was dressed comfortably in a black zip-up hoodie, blue basketball shorts and a pair of dark green HOKA Kaha 2 GTX hiking boots.
Perry had a little gray scruff on his face as he completed the look with clear plastic framed sunglasses.
The frontman is best known for his jet black locks, so this natural gray look is undoubtedly quite a change for him.
Perry was last seen with his ex Journey bandmates when they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame six years ago on April 7, 2017.
He chose not to perform alongside the band out of deference to current Journey vocalist Arnel Pineda from the Philippines.
