Neal Schon revealed Journey's future as he deals with a legal battle with bandmate Jonathan Cain.
Journey band members Schon and Jonathan Cain are currently embroiled in a heated legal dispute as they throw American Express card-related issues against each other. This might possibly lead to Journey's disbandment, but Schon assured it would not happen.
On Twitter, fans asked the musician whether the legal battle would ignite the end of the band. Schon immediately replied to a user who said: "I don't think Journey is done. I don't think Neal would let that happen. That's his life work and his baby."
The Journey founder guaranteed their fans that Journey is not yet done.
When another user insisted that he could put a fork on the band already, he said, "Journey means forever changing."
Instead of disbanding, he hinted at the possibility that a co-founding member would return soon.
Schon shared a photo of himself with co-founding Journey and Santana keyboardist Gregg Rolie and said he should join the band in its 2023 tour. He then asked his followers what they would like to hear for Journey's 50th-anniversary tour.
The band's North American Tour will start at PPL Center on February 4 and end on April 25 in Palm Springs, California.
Neal Schon, Jonathan Cain's Legal Battle Explored
Journey's disbandment buzz started after Schon and Cain got engaged in a heated exchange of lawsuits.
Schon first filed a lawsuit in Contra Costa in the Bay area of California in which he accused him of setting up the American Express card for the band without informing him and using it despite knowing that the band's funds flow into it.
He added that Cain had not given them the financial records of his expenses to determine how much Journey owes him, although he has the right to access and control Nomota's books and records.
The founder said his bandmate would give him access to the card, but it never happened. He added that he only knew about it after American Express informed him about the card.
Meanwhile, Cain responded and said Schon was the one who used the card for his "enormous" personal use.
"This is a matter that should have been resolved privately, but I am forced to publicly respond now to Neal's malicious lies and personal attacks on my family and I in an effort to garner public support for his ill-conceived lawsuit - a lawsuit that has absolutely no merit," he said.
