Megadeth Settles Lawsuit
Megadeth and frontman Dave Mustaine have agreed to pay $1.4 million to resolve allegations that they still owed commissions to former manager Cory Brennan after he was “unceremoniously” fired and replaced by Mustaine’s son.
The deal resolves claims related to a lawsuit filed last year by Brennan and his Five B Artist Management, which alleged that Mustaine was refusing to hand over more than $1 million in unpaid commissions after abruptly dismissing Brennan.
The settlement will not end the dispute entirely. Mustaine countersued Brennan last year, claiming his tenure as manager had been “plagued with missteps” that caused Mustaine serious physical and emotional harm. Those claims. denied by Brennan, were not resolved by the settlement and will continue to be litigated.
