Journey keyboardist Jonathan Cain is sharing his side of the band’s latest legal squabble.
To catch you up, Cain’s bandmate Neal Schon filed a cease-and-desist after Cain performed “Don’t Stop Believin'” at a Trump fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago – claiming it did “irreparable harm to the Journey brand”.
Cain responded Thursday, writing: “If anyone is destroying the Journey brand, it is Neal and Neal alone,” pointing to Schon’s legal squabbles with Steve Perry, Live Nation, and others.
It’s not even the only legal battle going on between the band – earlier this year, Schon sued Cain over access to a band credit card. After Schon filed a lawsuit against Cain, claiming the keyboardist had set up a secret American Express account to give himself access to “millions of Journey funds,” Cain fired back.
In a statement, Cain says Schon’s lawsuit is filled with “malicious lies and personal attacks” – and claims he was forced to take control of the situation because of the guitarist’s “reckless spending.”
Despite the legal battles, Schon says the lawsuits will not break up the band.
