Former Fray manager counter-sues
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 9 December 2009
The former manager of The Fray has responded to that lawsuit launched against him by half of the US rock band by suing them. Of course.
As previously reported, Frayers Joseph King and Isaac Slade sued Gregg Latterman back in September, alleging their former manager had sneakily written a clause into the two songwriters’ publishing deal which gave his company a cut of publishing royalties. King and Slade said they were not aware of this at the time of the deal, and would not have agreed to it had they been informed of Latterman’s plan.
But the former manager has now issued legal papers denying wrongdoing regarding the band’s publishing deal, and is in turn suing the band over allegations of breach of contract and fiduciary duty. He claims the band tried to cut him out of their career early on, and pressured him to accept reductions in his earlier contracted rights as the band’s popularity grew.
The band are yet to respond to the manager’s claims.
