This was reportedly the first time the publication has issued an apology on their homepage. Here is what they had to say: On 22 February we published an article about Journey guitarist Neal Schon and his fianc�e Michaele Salahi, entitled 'Exclusive: Journey guitarist Neal Schon left ex-wife and daughters "so broke they can't buy food" .. but he gave Real Housewives of DC fianc�e $1 MILLION ring'.

It claimed falsely that Mr Schon was a deadbeat dad and repeated allegations that he had neglected his ex-wife and two young children, leaving them in such a precarious financial position that they have no money for food or bills and that their home would have to be sold.

It also reported claims that Mr Schon was a "drunk and abusive man" who had become "increasingly spiteful and vindictive" using his money to bully his ex-wife and that his fianc�e Michaele Salahi had turned him against his former wife.
