ANTHRAX Thrash Out Deal With Short-Lived Singer Dan Nelson
June 26, 2012, 11 years ago
According to Robert Gearty from NY Daily News, ANTHRAX was in Manhattan Federal Court on Monday for settlement talks with former singer Dan Nelson.
After more than two hours of closed-door negotiations with a judge, drummer Charlie Benante, bass man Frank Bello and guitarist Scott Ian walked out of court smiling after striking a deal. Nelson had sued the band for $2.65 million after his acrimonious departure in 2009.
Details of the settlement were not made public.
Before reaching the deal, Anthrax attorney Brian Caplan informed the judge that Nelson had been offered a “fairly small dollar amount” and co-authorship of 11 Anthrax songs that the band recorded for the album Worship Music.
