Neal Schon Seeks Peace for Journey's Farewell Tour

0:00On April 2nd, Journey's bear will tour is finally rolling, and guitarist Neil Shawn wants to bury the hatchet on all the band's messy internal fights. As co-founder, he's been clashing hard with keyboardist Jonathan Cain for years now. The beef started over business deals and cash flow in the band, but he got personal when Cain went public with his support for Donald Trump. Right wing stuff, and evangelical faith, Shawn wasn't having it. He told Rolling Stone straight up that Journey's music should stay neutral. No politics, no one religion pushed on fans. Why pick red or blue, and risk losing half your audience? It's everybody's tunes, he says, and mixing that in keeps things shaky. Even with lawsuits flying back and forth, they've kept gigging together, making for some real awkward vibes on stage. Shawn hates the lawyers in all the drama, calling it pointless noise. Now with the tour in full swing, he's just craving some real peace to focus on the music, and give fans the send-off they deserve. You've been listening to music news today, AI-powered music coverage.
