By Laura Harman, Metro | Sting is being sued for millions of pounds over missing royalties by his former bandmates from The Police. Sting, real name Gordon Matthew Sumner, 73, is now involved in another legal battle, as he is handed a High Court writ from guitarist Andy Summers and drummer Stewart Copeland.
The former band members are suing the frontman for millions, claiming ‘substantial’ damages.
A source detailed to The Sun: ‘This has been coming for quite some time.
‘Lawyers tried repeatedly to reach an out-of-court settlement but hit a stalemate.
‘Andy and Stewart decided there was no alternative than court, so pressed the button. They say they are owed millions in lost royalties.’
