Journey's Neal Schon hints at going solo

-


Is the American band Journey headed for splitsville?

Neal Schon, American guitarist for the band "Journey," has slammed front man Arnel Pineda and three other members of the band after their visit to the White House in Washington, DC recently.

Schon, who is said to be the last original member of "Journey," said that the band should never be used for politics or religion.


His complete post on Facebook:

"I will remain strong and consistent with the belief we've always shared and agreed upon - Journey should never be used and exploited by anyone , especially band members for politics or any one religion.

"I've been here since 1972 and this has always been our belief. This was with intent to exploit the brand and use the name.

"Journey was not there - 3 individual members were Cain Valory and Pineda whom I found ... Tours are done all the time but it could have been privately. The members who attended know my position and the way we've always been until now.

"Steve Perry myself and the rest have always agreed the music we created is for Everyone.


"As you can see the original picture below it states JOURNEY. I had no prior knowledge of this from anyone. Not band members or Management. This clearly shows no respect or Unity, just Divide," said Schon.

He went on with his public outcry on Twitter as he addressed rumors about going solo.

“How would you feel if u found out that the rest of the band wanted to tour without me? I’ve always been 100% JRNY and made the right choices. I will travel to new musical terrain that we never have and encompass everything," Schon added.

Formed in 1973, the band "Journey" was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with the class of 2017.

Some of their chart-toppers include "Who's Crying Now?", "Open Arms," "Faithfully," "Don't Stop Believin,' " "Separate Ways (World Apart)," "Be Good To Yourself," and :When You Love A Woman," etc. - ROBERT REQUINTINA

"said Diego, when asked if he's reaching out to his father, during an interview on "Tonight With Boy Abunda" on ABS CBN. "Sabi ko, 'why not?' Nanghihinayang ako eh.

Why not my father?; "Nanghihinayang lang ako. Sa kont
