Walter ‘Herbie’ Herbert, Manager Who Helped Launch Journey, Dies at 73

He was a protege of Bill Graham, and also worked with Santana, Steve Miller Band, Roxette and Europe during his career.

Longtime artist manager Walter James “Herbie” Herbert II, who worked with groups including Journey and Santana, has reportedly died. According to Variety, Herbert was 73 years old.

Herbert began his career in the early 1970s working with famed promoter Bill Graham. Graham helped Herbert land a gig as a roadie for Santana, whom Graham managed at the time. Herbert befriended Santana musicians Gregg Rolie and Neal Schon, and after they went on to found Journey they recruited Herbert to work alongside them.

Schon was one of the first people to acknowledge Herbert’s passing in a Facebook post Monday, saying, “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.”
