HonoluluAdvertiser.com has issued the following report from Rick Daysog:
AEROSMITH received nearly $400,000 in insurance money after it canceled a sold-out concert on Maui in 2007, according to court papers filed this week against the popular Boston-based rock group.
Tuesday's legal filing also quoted from a 2007 e-mail by the concert's co-promoter, Shep Gordon, that compared HawaiI to "a third world country" where disappointed Aerosmith fans would end up suing over the band's no-show.
"At the very least a group of Aerosmith fans will be greatly disappointed, inconvenienced and possibly put at a financial loss," the filing quoted Gordon's Sept. 17, 2007, e-mail as saying."We have very eager attorneys here who would get involved. Remember in some ways this is a third world country."
