According to the New York Post, Frontiers Records has taken former Deep Purple guitarist Ritchie Blackmore to Manhattan federal court with a lawsuit claiming that he did not properly help promote Blackmore’s Night’s 2015 release, All Our Yesterdays.
Frontiers, which paid Blackmore a $220,000 advance, is seeking a minimum of $150,000 in damages.
A lawyer for Blackmore denied the allegations, calling them “ludicrous.”
Frontiers says that during a summer tour to promote the album, Blackmore blew off dozens of media appearances including six German TV interviews and 25 to 30 other outlets.
