Overview
- Neal Schon posted that Jonathan Cain had announced his farewell to Journey, prompting reports that the longtime keyboardist was leaving.
- Cain’s spokesperson said those reports are inaccurate, stating he remains an active member and is fully dedicated to touring with the band over the next couple of years.
- Schon later clarified that Cain will perform with Journey through 2026 and 2027, framing any departure as coming after that period.
- Cain recently described a 2026 run as a “farewell Journey tour” on the Strang Report podcast, adding that he would be saying goodbye to it.
- The unresolved status follows years of public and legal friction between Schon and Cain, as Cain promotes a faith-based single honoring the late Charlie Kirk and Journey holds at least one 2026 date at Stagecoach with no announced successor for Cain.
