According to consequence.net, the legal battle between Journey‘s keyboardist/rhythm guitarist Jonathan Cain and lead guitarist Neal Schon has reemerged after the filing of a new lawsuit against the latter over claims of alleged lavish spending on the band’s shared credit card.
According to Bloomberg, Cain’s lawsuit claim that Schon allegedly maxed out an American Express credit card with an $1 million limit and allegedly blew past the $1,500-per-night hotel allowance, while also allegedly chartering private jets and hiring a friend as a security guard. The keyboardist also accuses the guitarist of allegedly preventing the band from paying its debts.
Despite the alleged financial dispute, Cain makes it clear in the alleged suit to note that Journey is still delivering their best efforts in concert: “The band’s actual onstage performance is, at the moment, one of the only aspects of the business that has not suffered.”
Back in 2022, Cain allegedly filed a similar alleged lawsuit against Schon, by alleging excessive use of the band’s AmEx card. Schon allegedly hit back at Cain shortly after when he allegedly filed a cease-and-desist letter against the keyboardist after Cain had performed “Don’t Stop Believin’” with MAGA supporters Marjorie Taylor Greene, Kimberly Guilfoyle and others at Donald Trump’s Mar-A-Lago resort.
