Beach Boys Settlement
March 22nd, 2008 by Hannah
Beach Boy Mike Love and former band mate Al Jardine have finally settled a lawsuit over a feud over the band’s name. The suit was mainly revolved around Love’s request for about $2.2 million in attorney’s fees spent in previous litigation against Jardine. Love sued Jardine in 2003 after the latter toured with groups under the names “Beach Boys Family & Friends”, “Al Jardine, Beach Boy” and “Al Jardine of the Beach Boys”. A federal judge ruled that Jardine could not use any reference to his former band’s name as it violated copyright laws. Reports say that the terms of the settlement are confidential but that both parties were pleased with the outcome.
