I wanted to take a moment to wish you all a very Merry Bishmas, happy holidays, and a wonderful New Year.
I’m grateful to all of you more than I can say. Your support of me, my music, and my final album THIMK was truly overwhelming. I felt the love every step of the way this year, and it meant the world to me.
As we look ahead to the New Year, I will share a little something I have been keeping a secret. It has been seven years since I last played a live show, and my wife has been gently convincing me that it might be time again. We are talking about the possibility of doing a few special shows with two legendary friends of mine. Nothing is set just yet, but it is something I am genuinely excited about if it comes together.
For now, I hope this season brings you peace, good food, laughter, and time with the people you love.
Thank you for being part of my life and for still listening to my songs after all these years. Wishing you a beautiful holiday season and a joyful New Year ahead.
With love and sunshine,
Stephen, Liz, Little Stephen, and all of our pets 🎄✨

I’m heartbroken by the passing of my friend Rob Reiner and his wife Michele. Rob came from a truly magical and deeply talented family and was an incredible director, actor, and above all a remarkable human being and friend. I was also a huge fan of All in the Family, and his impact on TV, film and storytelling will never be forgotten.
This is a terrible tragedy, and my heart goes out to his family, friends, and fans. Sending love and my deepest condolences to everyone who loved Rob and Michele.

On this day in 1985, my song "Separate Lives," recorded by Phil Collins and Marilyn Martin, reached #1 on the Billboard charts. Featured in the film White Nights, the song earned me an Academy Award nomination.

It is hard to believe @GeorgeHarrisonOfficial passed away 24 years ago today. When I heard the news, I cried my eyes out. I had the pleasure of spending time with George a few times, and those memories have stayed with me all my life.
The first time we met, I visited him at his home in England in late 1978 while he was working on his self titled album “George Harrison.” My dear friend Russ Titelman was producing the record and introduced us. George could not have been kinder. He showed me around his home, taught me how to stand on a giant water lily pad, made me laugh, and treated me like an old friend from the moment I walked in.
I miss and love you George.
Love and Sunshine

It has been almost one year since my dear friend Leah Kunkel passed away and I still think about her every day. Some people are so full of light and generosity that you believe they will be here forever. Leah was one of those people. She was endlessly kind, incredibly talented, and a true friend for more than fifty years.
We were lucky that we wrote Under the Jamaican Moon together back in the early seventies and I will always remember that time with her. I am especially grateful that she recorded on my final album THIMK. Hearing her voice on that record means more to me than I can ever say and I wish we had made more music together.
Leah made the world better just by being in it and everyone who knew her felt that. She is deeply missed.
Love and sunshine

#ThrowbackThursday With my dear friend Kenny Rankin, taken around 1976 in a friend’s living room. I miss Kenny. Our friendship lasted for decades. He recorded a wonderful version of my song On and On and later sang background vocals on my Romance in Rio album in 2007. Kenny passed away in 2009, but I think about him often. He was one of a kind and such an underrated artist.
