Dueling Bands Update

Bun E. Carlos, along with former manager David Frey, are suing the remaining members of Cheap Trick for monies and the right to use Cheap Trick's name without him. And apparently some of the funds involved covering the costs of damaged and/or lost equipment due to the 2011 stage collapse, of which in turn Cheap Trick is suing the organizers of the festival. My understanding had been  that Bun E. was not a current touring member but was still involved with Cheap Trick but apparently he was  "fired" at some point in the past. Full story here.

AND Jack White and Great White have settled their dispute. Both will continue touring under their current monikers while all other details remained confidential. I am not sure what was settled but how much did both parties pay to continue on as they have been for the past three years?
