Jonathan Cain and Neal Schon, bandmates in the legendary rock group Journey, could be headed different ways after Cain took the stage at an event for former President Donald Trump.
Schon served Cain a cease-and-desist order after the keyboardist played the band’s hit song “Don’t Stop Believin'” for Trump at Mar-a-Lago in November, according to a report.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Kimberly Guilfoyle, and Kari Lake were at the event, the report noted.
Cain, 71, has been a longtime associate of Trump’s inner circle, and his wife, Paula White, is a spiritual adviser to the former president.
Schon accused Cain of politicizing their band, according to the order.
“Although Mr. Cain is free to express his personal beliefs and associations, when he does that on behalf of Journey or for the band, such conduct is extremely deleterious to the Journey brand as it polarizes the band’s fans and outreach,” the cease-and-desist order said. “Journey is not, and should not be, political.”
The order continued: “Mr. Cain has no right to use Journey for politics. His politics 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.”

This is not the first legal spat between Cain and Schon, according to the report.
The pair had a legal battle this fall relating to Schon’s alleged denied access to the Journey’s American Express card.
