Walter "Herbie" Herbert (February 5, 1948 - October 26, 2021) was a manager for several bands, including Journey, the Steve Miller Band, Roxette, Mr. Big and EUROPE. He became EUROPE's manager in the US in 1986 and worked with them right up until their hiatus in 1992.
"I remember at some point we were going back and forth to the Turks and Caicos Islands. Herbie was with us and said, 'Jesus guys, you're like prisoners in paradise.' That expression was picked up by Joey. Herbie was good that way. He was also the manager of Journey and designed all their album covers and often came up with their album titles." - Kee Marcello

Dear All
I’m very saddened by this news tonight of the recent Loss Of Walter ( Herbie ) Herbert whom I’ve known since I joined Santana mid 1970 where I witnessed
Herbie - A one man do it all show with Carlos Gregg and the rest of the band.
I met him through Gregg Rolie and Jackie Villanueva ( Dr Brown ) We traveled the world together first with Santana then Journey. Shortly after we had completed the Caravanserai album
The band disbanded.
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 fucker 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.
