  • Legendary West Coast music manager Walter "Herbie" Herbert died of natural causes on October 25th at age 73. After serving under Bill Graham for years, he went on to help form and manage Journey, along with the Steve Miller Band, Mr. Big, Enuff Z' Nuff — and co-managed the Swedish bands Roxette and Europe.
  • Close friend and Journey co-founder Neal Schon paid tribute online, posting in part: "Herbie had decided to start a management company. Approached me about managing myself and wrapping a band around my guitar playing and our long amazing Journey started when I said great let’s go. I’ll cherish all the incredible times and trials and tribulations we experienced together. Herbie was an incredible hands on Manager and fought like a mother f***er for all of us every step of the way. I can easily say that without his vision there would have never been many of the innovative things that we shared. I hold the greatest times in my heart forever. My deepest condolences to All that knew him and loved him. God Bless you R.I.P. Herbie with much love respect and admiration. Neal"
