The most recent legal battle between Journey members Jonathan Cain and Neal Schon appears to be over after Schon conceded to the appointment of a neutral third party to resolve the “deadlock” that Cain has claimed is crippling the band’s operations.

In an order issued Wednesday (Aug. 28), a Delaware judge appointed a so-called custodian to break ties between the two longtime bandmates. The ruling came a month after Cain sued Schon seeking such an umpire, claiming their endless disputes pose “a severe threat of harm” to the band’s “storied history of musical greatness.”

The order comes after Schon agreed to the appointment of such a neutral. In his written ruling, the judge wrote: “Schon does not oppose the court’s appointment of a custodian with the power to act as a third, deadlock breaking director.”

In a statement, a spokesman for Cain said he was “elated with the outcome and looks forward to moving beyond this matter so that Journey can continue the band’s 50th Anniversary Freedom Tour.” An attorney for Schon did not immediately return a request for comment.

Legal battles are nothing new for Cain and Schon, the two key remaining members of an iconic rock band that’s still printing money decades after its “Don’t Stop Believin’” heyday. The two have repeatedly fought in court over the band’s finances over the past two years.

Filed by Cain last month in Delaware’s Chancery Court, the new case largely rehashed those same disagreements over spending — like Cain claiming that Schon unilaterally charts private jets and lavishly spends band funds on personal expenses.

But in technical terms, the case focused narrowly on the governance of Freedom 2020 Inc., a Delaware-based corporate entity they created to operate Journey’s touring. Since Cain and Schon each control exactly 50% of the company, the lawsuit says the two have reached an impasse that has spilled into many aspects of the band’s operations.

“The deadlock between the company’s directors is now interfering with the company’s ability to take even the most basic actions and is causing significant disruptions in the smooth operation of the company,” Cain’s lawyers wrote.

Wednesday’s order aims to resolve that situation by naming Joseph R. Slights, a former Chancery Court judge, as a custodian — a court-appointed official who can cast tie-breaking votes in corporate disputes.

To carry out those duties, the judge said that Slights will be able to “retain advisors or professionals, including music-industry advisors, attorneys, accountants and other professionals,” in order to decide how to resolve disputes between Cain and Schon.

Slights will have his work cut out for him. The complaint lodged last month painted a picture of extreme dysfunction within Journey, ranging from spending decisions to managing employees.

“Petitioner and respondent are deadlocked with regard to issues concerning the hiring and firing of company employees and Band crew members,” Cain’s lawyers wrote in the lawsuit. “It is common that one director will terminate an employee or crew member, and hours or days later, the other director will rehire that same individual.”

In a Facebook post last week, Schon said the accusations leveled by Cain were “slanderous” and that he “can’t stress enough how much it upset me and how wrong they are.” But he hinted that a deal was close to resolve the lawsuit by appointing a neutral third party like Slights.

“We’re going to bring in someone impartial to help us resolve our disputes, bring clarity to what we’re doing and allow us, as a band, to get back to what we should all focus on — making music and performing for our fans,” Schon wrote at the time.

Nick Cannon and Brittany Bell have good genes. According to the latter, her oldest child with the former — 7-year-old Golden Sagon — is one smart cookie, apparently skipping two levels to enter fourth grade on an advanced education path.

The influencer recently shared a photo of Golden, 3-year-old daughter Powerful Queen and 2-year-old Rise Messiah — all three of whom she shares with the Masked Singer host — in honor of their first day of school, showing off her two oldest children’s school uniforms and DIY chalkboards boasting the grades they’re entering this year: fourth and pre-kindergarten. “Back to school for all of us!! My bright babies!!” she wrote.

“Golden is 7 in 4th grade (yes he’s advanced and yes his emotional intelligence matches his cognitive intellect) and our Pretty Pow is already in Pre-K big kids class! Weee so proud!!” Bell continued in her caption. “last year Golden ran for and was elected as his class representative and Miss Pow is quite popular. so they are doing well- can’t wait for this year and what they will do!”

Cannon is also Dad to nine other kids with four other women: Mariah Carey, Abby De La Rosa, Bre Tiesi and LaNisha Cole. The Drumline star hasn’t shied away from jokes about his fertility gifts over the years, recently taking out a $10-million insurance policy on his testicles — which he intends to keep putting to good use.

“Haters say it’s time for me to stop having kids and put this super sperm to rest, but I’m doubling down on these valuable balls and my future kids,” he wrote on Instagram in June. “Shoutout to Dr. Squatch for giving my balls the credit they deserve and hooking me up with the protection I need to keep this family tree rolling!”

And though he has a dozen kids to juggle, Cannon is also open about how he makes an effort to spend time with each of them. On Valentine’s Day, for instance, he took 13-year-old Monroe — whom he shares with Carey — on a daddy-daughter date to a restaurant, meanwhile the “Obsessed” singer did the same with son Monroe. “My funny Valentine,” she captioned a post about the holiday, while Cannon shared a photo and wrote, “Best Valentines Date Ever!!!”

Oasis are reuniting in 2025 for a tour that promises to make dreams come true for hordes of fans around the globe.

If you lived in the U.K. in the 1990s, a time when rave culture collided with indie and Britpop, Oasis was a force to be reckoned with. Record and ticket sales, newspaper column inches, Oasis hogged all of it.

When Noel and Liam Gallagher, the combative Manchester siblings, called time on their band in 2009, they walked away with an impeccable chart record.

All seven of Oasis’ studio albums went to No. 1 on the Official U.K. Albums Chart, from their 1994 debut Definitely Maybe through to 2005’s Don’t Believe The Truth. A year after the split, in 2010, the compilation Time Flies – 1994-2009 hit the summit, giving Oasis eight leaders.

The manner in which the group dominated the national tally is worth exploring.

Definitely Maybe became the fastest-selling debut album in British history – and has passed 5 million sales in the U.K., where it’s 17-times platinum certified, according to the Official Charts Company.

Their sophomore effort from 1995, (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?, is the fifth best-selling album of all time in the U.K.

And their third record, 1997’s Be Here Now, was a weapon. To this day, it’s the fastest-selling album of all time, shifting 696,000 copies in just three days of its first chart week.

It’s a similar tale on the Official U.K. Singles Chart, on which Oasis landed eight No. 1s.

“Wonderwall,” their signature song, is not one of them. The most-streamed song in Oasis’ catalog in the U.K., with 397,100,000 plays, according to the OCC, “Wonderwall” peaked at No. 2 on the weekly chart back in 1995.

That domination extended to awards ceremonies, as Oasis snagged six BRIT Awards, including the Outstanding Contribution to British Music, two Ivor Novellos, and 17 NME Awards.

The group enjoyed success around the globe, including Australia, where “Wonderwall” came in at No. 1 on triple j’s Hottest 100 songs of the past 20 years, which counted down in 2013, and was voted No. 1 on the “Hottest 100” for 1995.

“Wonderwall” spent 11 consecutive weeks in the ARIA Top 10, and is certified 12-times platinum in these parts, ARIA reports.

(What’s the Story) Morning Glory? is certified eight-times platinum in Australia, having clocked up four consecutive weeks at No. 1 and 24 consecutive weeks in the top 10.

Be Here Now is platinum certified, and one of the band’s six top 10 efforts on the ARIA Chart.

Oasis’s blockbuster success didn’t translate in the United States. Just three Oasis songs impacted the Billboard Hot 100, including a single top 10 for “Wonderwall” (peaking at No. 8 in 1996).

On the Billboard 200 albums chart, 11 Oasis titles have made their mark, including three top 10s, with a No. 2 best for Be Here Now in 1997.

Oasis will make their long-overdue comeback in 2025, when the band performs a run of concerts in the U.K. and Ireland, their first dates there in 16 years.

The OASIS LIVE ’25 world tour will stretch out. “Plans are underway for OASIS LIVE ’25 to go to other continents outside of Europe later next year,” reads a statement, issued Tuesday morning.

The news has lit the fuse with Oasis’ long-suffering fans in the U.K., proof of which can be seen on the midweek albums chart.

Oasis will “no doubt see a huge surge in sales this week,” according to the charts compiler, as three records get set to blast into the top 40: Time Flies… (1994-2009) (at No. 14), (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? (at No. 26) and Definitely Maybe (No. 31), which celebrates its 30th anniversary this week.

P!nk recently took the stage at the Democratic National Convention with a surprise guest—her 13-year-old daughter, Willow. The duo performed a stripped-down version of her top 20 Billboard Hot 100 hit “What About Us.”

On Aug. 27, P!nk gave fans a glimpse behind the scenes by sharing footage from her Summer Carnival Tour on social media.

The post included a candid moment before the Aug. 22 DNC performance, where P!nk offered her daughter some supportive advice: “Just do your thing. Whatever you don’t sing, I will.” With those words, the two stepped out to deliver a powerful duet.

Their performance followed emotional speeches from parents and students addressing the tragic impact of gun violence in U.S. schools.

P!nk began the song with the lyrics, “We are searchlights, we can see in the dark,” setting the stage for Willow to join in with her verse: “We are billions of beautiful hearts, and you sold us down the river too far.” Accompanied by three backup singers and an acoustic guitar, the mother-daughter pair delivered a performance that stood out on a night filled with notable musical acts.

This isn’t the first time Willow has joined her mother on stage. In 2023, the duo performed “Cover Me in Sunshine” during the opening night of P!nk’s Summer Carnival Tour.

The “Raise Your Glass” singer has often expressed her pride in Willow’s talents, telling People, “She’s got a voice, man. She’s a little bird. She wants to do Broadway and then be a trauma surgeon. Yeah, she’s rad.”

The final night of the DNC also featured performances by The Chicks, Stevie Wonder, and John Legend. Vice President Kamala Harris closed the event by accepting the Democratic nomination for president.
