MOTLEY CRUE FILE LAWSUIT AGAINST MANAGER
Legendary rockers MOTLEY CRUE filed a lawsuit against their manager on Wednesday (11Jun08) accusing him of breaching his contract by trying to cash in on their popularity.
The rockers claim Burt Stein has used his position as their music manager to promote his own agenda in order to achieve financial gain, reports TMZ.com.
In the suit filed at Los Angeles’ Superior court, the band state: "Stein used his position as a band manager to attempt to extract money for himself to the detriment of Motley Crue." The file also claims Stein’s management agreement would "terminate" if he breached his agreed duties towards the band.
Stein was not available for comment on the suit, reports the website.
This isn’t the first time the group has sued their management. In June 2007 the rockers filed a reported $20 million (£10 million) case against one of their managers, alleging "greed", "extortionist tactics" and bad career advice which caused the band to lose millions of dollars in profit.
