Music is a business, but Steve's voice is his career. Forcing him to sing when he needed to take care of himself could have done irreparable damage - very selfish. And making him go on tour and mime was an embarrassment.

Taking a few months off to let him sort himself out is hardly going to hurt a band Journey's size.
