The members of long-running rock band Journey have long had fractious relations, but an inter-band cease-and-desist order is a new peak: Keyboardist Jonathan Cain, who performed \u201cDon’t Stop Believin’\u201d for Donald Trump at Mar -a-Lago last month with a backing \u201cchorus\u201d including Marjorie Taylor Greene, Kimberly Guilfoyle and Kari Lake, was served with a cease-and-desist order from an attorney for bandmate Neal Schon for that performance.<\/p>\n

Cain, Schon and estranged singer Steve Perry are the writers of the 1981 hit, which attained a second life when nearly 30 years later when it was featured in the final episode of the HBO hit series \u201cThe Sopranos.\u201d <\/p>\n

More from Variety<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cain, 71, has long been a member of the former president’s inner circle. His wife of eight years, Paula White, is a televangelist and Donald Trump’s spiritual advisor.<\/p>\n

The letter obtained by variety,<\/em> reads in part: \u201cAlthough 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. Journey is not, and should not be, political.<\/p>\n

\u201cMr. Cain has no right to use Journey for politics,\u201d the letter continues. \u201cHis 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, \u201dcalling it a\u201c harmful use of the brand. \u201d<\/p>\n

The missive goes on to state it does not intend to \u201cfurther add to the animosity that is currently plaguing the band and the relationship between Mr. Schon and Mr. Cain,\u201d which has been acrimonious for a while now.<\/p>\n
