Although we once assumed Def Leppard‘s biggest problem was getting people to remember them, that’s no longer the case!
Their former manager, Trudy Green, filed a lawsuit against the eighties band and their accountant for breach of oral contract, fraud and intentional interference of a contract among a few other zingers.
Green begun managing the band in 2005, but the trouble began during their 2008 tour!
The court documents state:
“Plaintiff was not paid its earned commissions on this tour pursuant to the Agreement and, after the Band had been paid, spent the next several months working with Def Leppard├óΓé¼Γäós accountants and other professionals to determine the amount of commissions due, and to ultimately receive payment.”
She is seeking a jury trial and asking for at least $700,000 in damages as she believes she is owed $75,000 in commissions for the 2008 tour, $85,725 from merchandise sales and $551,250 for the 2009 US tour.
That’s what they get for leaving her High ‘n’ Dry!
