Journey's Neal Schon Sues Over Wedding Fees
. (Classic Rock) Journey guitarist Neal Schon is suing the city of San Francisco over a $240,000 fee to use a local landmark for his December 2013 wedding to reality tv star Michaele Salahi. The couple were married at the Palace of Fine Arts, and rented an adjacent building for the reception. According to NBCBayArea.com, Schon had initially agreed to pay the city $58,000 for use of the facility and claims officials unfairly jacked up the fee for the city's permit six days before the wedding after learning the event was to be broadcast via pay-per-view. Schon called the last-minute fee hike "extortion'' and unhappily paid for the permit so the wedding could proceed, according to the lawsuit. One of Schon's lawyers, Rebecca Coll, says: "City administrators are not supposed to make up what fees to charge people based on who they are, or because they agree to share their wedding - or anything else - on television. The Schons had a right to share their celebration with the world in real time without being penalized.'' Read more here. Classic Rock Magazine is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
