Good news for classic Journey fans! It appears that one of the co-founding members of the group would be performing at the band's 50th-anniversary tour amid Neal Schon and Jonathan Cain's feud; who would it be?
According to Blabbermouth, Schon took to his official Twitter account to share a photo of himself along with co-founding member/guitarist Gregg Rolie with the caption, "2 original founding members."
He then asked fans if they agree that the musician should join them for their tour this year, adding, "He will spice it up and we will have a great variety of songs to choose from. What would you like to hear for the 50th-anniversary tour?"
As of this writing, Rolie, who left Journey in 1980 has not publicly responded on the matter.
The recent news comes after Schon filed a lawsuit against Jonathan Cain, claiming that he set up a credit card without the knowledge of his bandmate and that he used millions of dollars worth of Journey funds.
He also filed a cease-and-desist order against his old friend after performing the hit song "Don't Stop Believin'" for Donald Trump at the Mar-a-Lago.
Cain's actions were labeled as "deleterious" as the band didn't want to be "political."

Why Did Gregg Rolie Leave Journey?
According to We Are Classic Rockers, the original keyboardist became a part of Journey since their early years and contributed on their first few albums such as "Evolution" and "Departure."
However, after releasing the 1981 live album "Captured," he decided to leave the band. Many believed that he withdrew from his keyboardist position due to conflicts with Steve Perry, but it wasn't confirmed by either of the two.
In a previous interview with Rolling Stone, Rolie clarified the main reason why he left, saying he didn't like his life anymore.
"I left because I was unhappy with what I was doing in my own life... I loved the management. I loved the music. I loved what we built. I just wasn't happy, so I had to blow the horn on it and just stop it," he said.
In addition, he brought up the Steve Perry issue, saying many people thought the reason why he left was that the former frontman started singing all the lead parts of their songs, but he was "never against it."
