I think you mean Robert Fleischman.
Greg Rolie remained a member Journey and a co-lead singer even after the addition of Steve Perry until his departure in 1980, which was well into their “stardom”.

Peter Gabriel, Genesis

It is not specified whether it was the band or the musician that was on the verge of stardom.

It’s implied that it’s the band. I did a double-take on that one too. Genesis was certainly popular with Gabriel, but not as commercially successful as with Phil on lead vocals.
