After short stints with Metallica's Q-Prime, Def Leppard's Mike Kobayashi, and self-management, the band allegedly has new management again...

While only listed on Neal's personal instagram (giving the impression that it is his personal manager), it is being reported that the band's new manager is Larry Rudolph of 724 Management.

724 website has little to show for it. Old articles say that Larry managed Britney Spears and Aerosmith.

Deen-O tweeted out before their final show of the year that you’ll see them sporadically in 2025 and then something big in 2026:

This new management will last until the first time he tries to put a leash on Neal then he'll be sent packing too. I can't believe any management company would touch this Jerry Springer episode at this point.

I found an article from a few years ago saying his firm is affiliated with Live Nation so I'm surprised Neal hired him at all considering how much he hates Live Nation.

Maybe Journey is making a new album in 2025 and then will have a massive tour in 2026. Probably not, but that's the only thing that makes sense.

I wish that Journey would 100% take off 2025. Schon can work on another solo album or side band project. Then release a new Journey album in 2026. I have no belief that they will release a new album by 2026, however.

Or, maybe Jonathan and Arnel both said they wanted to take 2025 off and Neal had no choice but to agree to it.
Or, maybe M told Neal that he was going to take a year off to spend more time with her. So, Neal decided to take a year off because he does anything M tells him to do.
Or, maybe Paula had a vision and started speaking in tongues and Neal heard it and thought she was prophesizing that Journey had to take a year off, or God would be very angry. Then she started floating around making weird noises. And, it scared Neal so he decided to take a year off.
Or, maybe Trump demanded it because he did not want "Don't Stop Believing" to be in the public eye for Democrats to use as a rallying cry in 2025. So, Neal decided to take a year off because he is short and Trump scares him.
Or, maybe Elon hacked Deen's post and changed the wording as a joke.
Or, maybe doing a 3yr "anniversary tour" nonstop for 3+yrs and then taking a break has been the plan since 2020.
Or maybe Deen is just making shit up and has no real idea what the plan is, or even if there is a plan.

He's adopted a semi-glam approach for a while. Nothing new here. Go look at the manila DVD.
