NEAL SCHON's Wife Says Two JOURNEY Bandmembers Are 'Adamantly' Against GREGG ROLIE's Return

Two members of JOURNEY are adamantly against the return of the band's co-founder Gregg Rolie for the upcoming 50th-anniversary tour, according to guitarist Neal Schon 's wife.

Earlier this month, Schon hinted that Rolie would make an appearance on the band's upcoming trek, presumably in the place of longtime keyboardist Jonathan Cain , with whom Neal has been publicly feuding.

However, Michaele Schon says that not every member of JOURNEY is on board with the lineup change. On Thursday (January 12),she took to social media to let fans know that she and her husband were looking forward to "seeing everyone soon on tour" and noted that legendary guitarist Jeff Beck 's recent passing "has shown us that along with so many who are in Heaven now we see how very precious time is." She then added: "TWO BAND MEMBERS are 'adamant 'NO ' fighting against Gregg Rolie to return .

"Life is so precious Neal and Gregg agree , who wants to have that feeling , truly sad . Music is for inspiration and joy!

"Everyone LOVES you Gregg ROLIE and respects who you are and ALL You have been and are to JOURNEY , for without YOU picking up Neal Schön from school , JOURNEY would not exist .

" Neal Schön and Gregg ROLIE will be somewhere Together at least one time this Year in Honor of what they began in 1972.

"Faith . Let's ask God to find a way for them. Let's pray for forgiveness for those who hurt Gregg ROLIE and hope they learn what spirituality is someday."

On Tuesday (January 10), Cain said that he will be hitting the road with JOURNEY next month despite Schon 's suggestions to the contrary.

Less than two weeks ago, Schon addressed Rolie 's participation in JOURNEY 's upcoming run of dates in a social media post. After Neal shared a graphic for JOURNEY 's 50th anniversary on his Facebook page, a fan commented: "I am SO looking forward to this. Please tell me Gregg Rollie is coming along for the ride! He's the better keyboard player and a co-founder it only seems right. Timing couldn't be better either!!!!" In response, Neal wrote: "you'll be seeing him".

Last month, Cain fired back at Schon when the JOURNEY guitarist called him a "hypocrite" for performing the band's 1981 hit song "Don't Stop Believin'" at Donald Trump 's Mar-a-Lago property. Cain , whose wife, Paula White-Cain , is the former president's self-styled spiritual adviser, played the track in November with a backup chorus of U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene , Donald Trump Jr. 's fiancée Kimberly Guilfoyle and former Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake .

" Neal Schon should look in the mirror when he accuses me of causing harm to the JOURNEY brand," Cain said in a statement. "I have watched him damage our brand for years and am a victim of both his — and his wife's — bizarre behavior."

An attorney for Schon sent a cease-and-desist letter to Cain after he performed at Trump 's Florida estate.

The latest legal move came a few weeks after Schon filed a lawsuit against Cain in California state court, alleging that Cain set up an American Express card without telling Schon and that "millions of JOURNEY funds have flowed through it." Cain , for his part, accused Schon of misusing the card, citing his "excessive spending and extravagant lifestyle."

A month earlier, former JOURNEY singer Steve Perry took legal action against both Schon and Cain , asking them to stop registering federal trademarks on the names of many of the band's hits.

Rolie was JOURNEY 's first singer, though his role quickly diminished when Perry arrived in 1977. Gregg left JOURNEY in 1980, just before the band achieved its commercial heights.

JOURNEY 's tour with TOTO will kick off on February 4 in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Presented by AEG Presents , the "Freedom Tour 2023" will make stops in Austin, Montreal and Memphis before wrapping April 25 at the brand-new Acrisure Arena in Palm Springs, California.

The 2023 run includes rescheduled dates in Washington, D.C., plus Hartford, Toronto and Quebec, which were postponed last year due to the coronavirus.

Neal Schon Now 2023: Bio, Age, Journey Feud With Jonathan Cain Explained

Neal Schon

Neal Schon is one of the biggest names in the rock genre because of his vision in founding perhaps one of the biggest rock bands worldwide - Journey. Neal Schon is best known for being the lead guitarist of the band, being the mainstay, and being a longstanding member of the band, as key artists have come and gone already.

Schon is now celebrating his 69th birthday, today, Feb. 27, 2023. Like the past years, the guitarist is entering a new year with a bright future ahead of the band, despite some legal dispute with Jonathan Cain, the band's keyboardist.

Read on to learn more about Schon and his rift with Cain:

Neal Schon Bio

Born Neal George Joseph Schon to Matthew and Barbara Schon at the Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma, the Journey founder is of German and Italian ancestry.

He got his influence and love for music from his father, who was a big band composer, arranger, musician, and multi-instrumentalist. He received music education from his father, who taught him to play the saxophone, his mother, on the other hand, was a great singing teacher.

Playing since ten years old, Neal Schon dropped out of high school and pursued a career in music.

Neal Schon and 'Journey'

In 1973, thanks to Santana manager Herbie Herbert, Journey was born.

With Schon leading the guitar, Gregg Rolie was helming the keyboards and lead vocals of the group. Ross Valory. George Tickner and Prairie Prince played the bass, rhythm guitar, and drums, respectively.

With over 15 studio albums under his belt, Neal Schon was undisputedly the longstanding member of the Journey band, as members of the iconic band have come and gone.

Neal Schon Net Worth

Celebrity Net Worth  reports that Neal Schon's Net Worth is estimated to be $40 million. This is attributed to his success in the music industry. Being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is also a prestigious feat for any artist that could mean more acclaim to one's name.

The band has also been touring for decades, so it is not surprising to see such a huge net worth from Neal Schon.

Neal Schon, Jonathan Cain Feud

According to Variety , Neal Schon, and Jonathan Cain, the band's current keyboardist is embroiled in a legal dispute. Recently, Schon served Cain with a cease-and-desist order when the latter performed "Don't Stop Believin'" at ex-President Donald Trump's party at the Mar-A-Lago last 2022.

Per Schon, in the documents retrieved by the publication , he insisted that while Cain is free to express his political beliefs, he should not have performed in the representation of the band at his capacity to absolve the band from representing a politician like Trump.

The band is set to embark on their 50th Anniversary tour despite the feud between the two artists.

Journey's Neal Schon says he and Steve Perry are 'in a good place' before band's 50th anniversary

neal schon journey net worth

On the cusp of turning 50, the band that etched “Don’t Stop Believin’ ” and “Faithfully” into lighters-up lore is entering “a cleaned-up chapter of Journey.”

That’s according to Neal Schon, the band’s ace guitarist, lone original constant and de facto CEO.

Despite decades of fluctuating lineups and  snarly lawsuits among band members , Journey endures.

On July 8, the band released “Freedom,” its first new album in 11 years that also presents the return of Randy Jackson (as in "American Idol") on bass. The 15-song collection is steeped with vintage-sounding ballads (“Still Believe in Love,” “Live to Love Again”) and soaring melodic rockers (“United We Stand,” “You Got the Best of Me”).

Journey – including longtime keyboardist Jonathan Cain,  peppy singer Arnel Pineda , drummer Deen Castronovo and keyboardist Jason Derlatka, adding bassist Todd Jensen for live shows – will hit Resorts World Las Vegas  this month for shows backed by a symphony orchestra before rolling through more arena dates this summer and in early 2023, the band’s official 50th year.

Journey in pop culture: Quarantined family perfectly re-creates 'Separate Ways' music video at home

Regular road warriors who consistently pack arenas and stadiums – their 27 shows this year grossed $28 million, according to Billboard Boxscore – Journey relies on a solid catalog of mega-hits and a devoted fan base that appreciates the familiarity.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Famers also received a boost from Netflix’s ’80s-centered “Stranger Things” when the show used “Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)” in the trailer for the just-ended season, launching the song onto Billboard’s Rock Digital Songs chart. The affable Schon, 68, talked with USA TODAY about the band’s complicated legacy, his relationship with former frontman Steve Perry and plans for Journey's golden anniversary.

Santana recovers: Carlos Santana collapsed on stage from heat, dehydration 

Question: Are you amazed at how the Journey train keeps rolling after almost 50 years?

Neal Schon: It’s quite an accomplishment and I’m very proud of what we’ve done and how we’ve gotten through emotional and personnel changes and survived. It’s pretty mind-boggling but also a lot of hard work.

Q: Does the title “Freedom” refer to anything specifically?

Schon: Our ex-manager Herbie Herbert  wanted to call the (1986) “Raised on Radio” album “Freedom” because he always came up with these one-word titles. Steve (Perry) fought him on that and got his way, so we sat on it for many years. When we got through the lawsuit with the ex-bandmates, we made the new LLC Freedom (JN) and when we were tossing around album titles said, why not just call the whole thing “Freedom?" It's for the times right now.

Q: There’s been a bit of a revolving door in the rhythm section. Deen Castronovo is back for the live shows, but Narada Michael Walden played drums on the album, and Randy Jackson is back in the band, at least on record?

Schon: Deen is singing and playing his butt off. He’s such a musical sponge, this guy. He’s been like my little brother for close to three decades and is such a joy to work with. Randy, he’d been working with me diligently this whole time. He’s so many things beyond being an amazing musician and bass player.

Q: Will Randy play at any of the upcoming live shows or is Todd Jensen handling those duties?

Schon: Randy is still recovering from some surgery and he stays very busy and Todd fits like a glove. Having said that, I think with our 50th anniversary next year, there’s room for everybody to jump in if they want to participate. We did go through an ugly divorce with (Steve Smith and Ross Valory) with the court proceedings (in 2021, Schon and Cain settled a $10 million trademark lawsuit with the band’s former drummer and bassist). But definitely, if Steve Perry wanted to come on and sing a song, yes. If (original Journey singer) Gregg Rolie wanted to come sing a couple of songs, yes. Randy Jackson (can) come sit in on some of the material – he played on a lot of hits on “Raised on Radio.”

Q: Do you talk much with Steve Perry?

Schon: We are in contact. It’s not about him coming out with us, but we’re speaking on different levels. That’s a start, even if it’s all business. And I’m not having to go through his attorney! We’ve been texting and emailing. He’s a real private guy and he wants to keep it that way. We’re in a good place.

Q: Do you think, after 15 years, that people have accepted Arnel?

Schon: I was diligent in that I wanted to show the massive size of our audience, so I hired photogs to come out every show and shoot the audience and show the size of the crowd to make everybody see, what am I missing? From putting up the different photos every night and the reviews from the fans online, I saw very little of “This is not Journey, man.” I think we just shut everybody up.

The 1971 album featured the hit single “Everybody’s Everything,” which peaked at No. 12 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Here to Stay featured contributions from Schon’s Journey bandmates Steve Perry and Jonathan Cain. This marked the only time Schon ever collaborated with Perry outside of Journey.

The album includes the song “Self Defense,” which Schon co-wrote with Perry and Cain, and featured backing vocals from Perry.

Journey would record its own version of the song, retitled “In Self-Defense,” on its 2005 studio album Generations .

HSAS, “Whiter Shade of Pale” (1984)

Also during the 1980s, Schon formed a band with Sammy Hagar, founding Santana drummer Michael Shrieve, and lauded session bassist Kenny Aaronson. Hagar Schon Aaronson Shrieve, also known as HSAS, released just one studio album, Through the Fire , in 1984. The album included featured an inspired cover of the 1967 Procol Harum classic “Whiter Shade of Pale,” which dented the Billboard Hot 100.

HSAS gave “Whiter Shade of Pale” an ‘80s arena-rock sheen, with Schon taking the song’s recognizable keyboard line to new heights with a soaring guitar solo.

Michael Bolton, “(Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay” (1987)

Blue-eyed soul singer Michael Bolton made the late Otis Redding’s immortal 1968 classic “(Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay” a hit again with his 1987 cover.

Schon contributed a tasteful-yet-gritty, blues-infused solo to Bolton’s rendition of the song, which reached No. 11 on the Hot 100. The track was produced by Cain, who also played keyboards on the tune. Randy Jackson, who also was a member of Journey at the time, lent his bass skills to the track.

Journey went on hiatus during the late 1980s, Schon formed the supergroup Bad English with Cain, singer John Waite, future Journey drummer Deen Castronovo, and ex-Babys/future Styx bassist Ricky Phillips.

Bad English released its self-titled debut in 1989, and the album included the chart-topping single “When I See You Smile.” The power ballad was composed by hit-making songwriter Diane Warren,” who also wrote Aerosmith’s only No. 1 hit, “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing.”

Neal schon names the journey song that proved his chemistry with steve perry.

' src=

Journey guitarist Neal Schon recently appeared in an interview with Guitar World and opened up about how they discovered their chemistry with Steve Perry while creating a song.

The band was established in 1973 in San Francisco with the support of the manager Herbie Herbert. They initially released the self-titled debut album in 1975. Subsequently, the band entered the studio to release ‘Look into the Future,’ and it debuted on the Billboard 200 chart at number 100.

They achieved a more commercial sound with their following record, ‘Next.’ It ranked number 85 on the Billboard 200; however, it could not reach significant sales. Thus, they changed their music style to improve sales and wanted to hire a frontman to share vocal duties with Gregg Rolie.

The band initially hired Robert Fleischman and embraced a more popular style in their sound. Fleischman hit the road with the band for their 1977 tour during which they opened for Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, and Emerson, Lake & Palmer. He wrote the songs like ‘Wheel in the Sky’ but quit following some disputes with their manager. Steve Perry, whom the band was introduced during that tour, replaced Fleischman as the new lead .

Recently, Neal Schon revealed in an interview that ‘Patiently’ was the first song he wrote with Steve Perry while they were on tour. He stated that their manager wanted them to create something together to understand whether they had a ‘chemistry’ on making a piece. When Schon started to play, Perry immediately grabbed the notes and began singing. The guitarist noted that they completed the song in a short time and realized the instant harmony between them.

Neal Schon said the following while opening up the 1978 song ‘Patiently’:

“The first song I wrote with Steve Perry. I believe we were on tour with Emerson, Lake & Palmer. I had an acoustic in my room, and I had these chords, the verse chords, and our manager at the time, Herbie Herbert, wanted Steve and me to get together to see if there was any chemistry before he joined the band.

I recall sitting in the room; I was playing him the core changes, and he just started singing to it. I guess he had some lyrics that just kind of fit the song. I think we knocked it out in about half an hour. I was like, ‘I guess we have writing chemistry!’ ”

You can listen to the song below.
