I believe it when I see it. Not sure if Neal can just fire Cain.
He can't. The three principal owners of the Journey business are Schon, Cain, and believe it or not, Perry, who has not relinquished his rights - he gets a cut of everything, which is why he doesn't need to perform or do anything. This is going to get ugly. Schon and Cain are completely opposites politically (which is a big reason this has started), and musically, they have grown apart significantly. I remember on the Eclipse album, Cain hated it because it was heavier. Cain and Schon will get some sort of business divorce, but not before throwing the entire band through the mud.
I am a Journey fan, and I've tuned out. Not seeing the tour, I muted all their social accounts (and the individual ones). It's just such a shame. Journey Through Time was awesome (I caught that gig with my wife). Frankly, that's sort of what I feel like Schon wants to do, except having Arnel there too. But no way Cain goes quietly into the night. He's a smart dude, and knows that a long legal battle is ahead. One that he can probably afford, whereas Schon likely cannot (I doubt Cain is wrong about Schon's spending habits).
Buckle up, Journey fans. Or do like me, and keep track of it, but just mute their socials.
