Journey's lead guitarist files cease-and-desist against keyboardist for Mar-a-Lago performance

Journey founding member and lead guitarist Neal Schon issued a cease-and-desist order to keyboardist Jonathan Cain for performing the rock band's hit song "Don't Stop Believin'" at Mar-a-Lago last month. 

"Although 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," reads the letter obtained by Variety magazin and published Wednesday. "Journey is not, and should not be, political."

Video shows Cain performing the song at the America First Policy Gala as Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Donald Trump Jr.'s fiance Kimberly Guilfoyle, and Arizona GOP gubernatorial nominee Kari Lake singing along on stage.

Former President Donald Trump can be seen watching the show while speaking with former GOP House Speaker Newt Gingrich.

Cain's wife, Paula White, is a televangelist and chaired Trump's evangelical advisory board.

Schon, who wrote the song in 1981 with Cain and the estranged singer Steve Perry, replied to the video condemning Cain's performance within hours after it was posted on Nov. 23.
