Journey Members Getting Along Well, Plan to Turn Farewell Tour Into “Long Goodbye”
Journey’s members say they are getting along better after years of internal conflict and legal disputes, prompting them to reconsider how their farewell should unfold. Guitarist Neal Schon says the tour has brought the band closer, and what was called “The Final Frontier” now feels like “The Long Goodbye”.
The group has played 110 shows in 2026, with its “Evening with JOURNEY” concerts lasting two and a half hours. Keyboardist Jonathan Cain, who had expected to leave after a couple more years, says the strong turnout has made him reconsider, though he wants a rest before deciding what comes next. The autumn tour is due to finish in San Francisco on 28 November, and Journey is booked for Stagecoach on 24 April 2027.
In short
- Journey’s farewell tour may become a longer goodbye.
- The band says touring has improved its relationships.
- Jonathan Cain is reconsidering whether to leave.
