Get ready for some breaking news that will send shockwaves through the music world! Journey's Keyboardist Jonathan Cain Drops a Bombshell: 'This Is Gonna Be It For Me'
In a recent interview on 'Nashville's Morning News' with Dan Mandis, the legendary musician set the record straight on his future plans. Here's the deal: Cain, at 75, wants to enjoy his golden years with his grandkids and family, and he's not afraid to say it.
But here's where it gets controversial... Cain's decision to leave Journey after two more tours has sparked confusion and debate. While he clarifies that he doesn't want to end up like John Lodge of The Moody Blues, who passed away while on tour, his bandmate Neal Schon seems to have other ideas. Schon's social media posts suggest he's not ready to call it quits just yet.
And this is the part most people miss... Cain's spokesperson has also stepped in to clarify that he's not leaving Journey anytime soon. He's committed to touring with the band for the next couple of years, and only then will he retire. So, it seems like we have a bit more time with the iconic keyboardist before he hangs up his keys.
But wait, there's more! The initial confusion surrounding Cain's departure stems from a public feud between him and Schon. They've clashed over various issues, including personal expenses and political differences. Cain's performance of 'Don't Stop Believin'' at Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago didn't sit well with Schon, who called him a 'hypocrite'.
Despite these differences, Cain maintains that he's not leaving his fans without a proper goodbye. He plans to give them one last hurrah before moving on to ministry and worship, as he feels a calling there.
So, what's next for Journey? Well, we'll have to wait and see. With no tour dates announced for 2026 and 2027, the future is uncertain. But one thing's for sure: Jonathan Cain's decision to leave the band has sparked a lively debate among fans and music enthusiasts alike.
