Neal Schon and Jonathan Cain have a long list of feuds and misunderstandings over the past few years and it appears that it won't be over soon as the former made another legal move against his bandmate; what happened?
According to Yahoo! Entertainment, the keyboardist performed the hit Journey song "Don't Stop Believin" last month in front of Donald Trump at an event called Mar-a-Lago.
His version included a backing "chorus" with contributing vocals from Kari Lake, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Kimberly Guilfoyle.
Due to his performance, Schon decided to file a cease-and-desist order against his old pal.
The track was reportedly written by former member Steve Perry, Schon, and Cain themselves. The 1981 hit became popular recently after being featured in the final episode of "The Sopranos."
The reason why the keyboardist performed the song in the event is he's been part of Donald Trump's inner circle. On the other hand, his wife Paula White, is the former president's spiritual advisor.
Schon and Perry are not the biggest fans of Trump as they previously expressed their disappointment after the politician used the song many times during his campaign rallies.

In a letter, it explained that Cain is free to express his personal beliefs and associations, but he performed the song on behalf of his bandmates.
His recent actions were described as "deleterious" to the band's brand as they wanted to polarize their fans and outreach, adding, "Journey is not, and should not be, political."
The letter continued to call out the member, stating that Cain has no right to use any of their songs for politics and that his political stance should be his "own personal business."
"He should not be capitalizing on Journey's brand to promote his personal political or religious agenda to the detriment of the band," the letter reads.
In conclusion, Schon deemed his bandmate's action as "harmful" to their brand.
This was not the first time the two musicians were involved in a legal battle as Schon previously claimed that he's being denied to use the American Express credit card of the band.
To explain what's been happening, Cain's lawyer claimed that the member had to stop using the band's card after he allegedly spent over $1 million on personal expenses.
