Description
Sting was sued by his former The Police bandmates Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland over alleged unpaid shares of royalties from songs recorded by the group between 1977 and 1984. In the civil case at the High Court, they claimed they had an oral agreement to share the income, which was later formalized in written contracts. Sting, who wrote The Police's biggest hits, denied the allegations, and his lawyers described the claims as unjustified.
