Jonathan Cain, a member of the band Journey, issued a response to a cease-and-desist order filed against him.
An attorney for bandmate Neal Schon served the order to Cain for his performance of “Don’t Stop Believin’” during an event at Mar-a-Lago with former President Donald Trump, Variety reported.
“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. Journey is not, and should not be, political,” the letter, obtained by the outlet, states.
It continues, “Mr. Cain has no right to use Journey for Politics.”
The letter argues, “His Politics should be his own personal business. He should not be capitalizing on Journey’s brand to promote his personal political or religious agenda to the detriment of the band.”
It called the performance a “harmful use of the brand.”
