Court documents show that bassist Ross Valory and drummer Steve Smith have been fired from Journey. Neal Schon and Jonathan Cain have filed a lawsuit that claims Valory and Smith were attempting a takeover of one of the band’s business entities.
The lawsuit states, “In 1998, Schon, Cain and [former singer Steve] Perry entered into a written agreement providing Schon and Cain the sole, exclusive, irrevocable right to control the Journey Mark, including the Journey name. They are, therefore, authorised to perform together as Journey, with or without anyone else.”
