When JOURNEY singer STEVE PERRY quit, he signed away his rights to the name, but he got a LOT in return. Basically, he co-owned the rights to the name “Journey” along with guitarist Neal Schon and keyboardist Jonathan Cain.  For their first two tours without him, he got 50% of what Neal or Jon made, whichever was higher.  Then he got 25% for their third tour, and 12.5% for EVERY tour after that.That includes any profits they’ve made from ticket sales, merchandise, and sponsorships.  And he made the same deal for any albums they release, so he still makes money on those.
