Journey keyboardist asks judge to resolve deadlock with band's lead guitarist [View all]

The fight is keyboardist Journey keyboardist Jonathan Cain vs band founder and lead guitarist Neal Schon.
It's about a company that they both co-own. The story is told mostly from Cain's point of view, and it looks like typical music business squabbling until the very last paragraph:

-snip most of the article until the last paragraph-

The two band members have been at odds for several years. In 2022, for example, Schon sent a cease-and-desist letter after Cain performed the 1981 hit "Don’t Stop Believin’” at former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate. Schon said Cain, whose wife was a spiritual adviser to Trump, had no right to use the Journey brand for politics. Cain countered that Schon was the one damaging the band’s brand through his bullying tactics and reckless spending.
