Former Journey singer Steve Perry is glad to be back in music, and he's showing his fans his gratitude with a blissful cover of the holiday classic "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas."

Perry's comeback began this fall with his first solo album in 30 years, Traces.

“This has been a big year of firsts for me,” Perry said in a message to fans. “In keeping with that spirit, I thought I'd record a little Christmas card song and send it out to you to thank you for all of your kindness in welcoming me back.

“Have yourself a merry little Christmas. I hope you enjoy it.”

The song's arrangement is sparse, with just a piano and Perry's soulful vocals taking the lead. It clocks in at less than two minutes.

Perry has yet to confirm any plans to tour or perform live in concert — except that if he does return to the stage, he has said he will happily perform songs from his classic Journey catalog.
