By Tammy Moir, Happy Mag | If you ever needed a reminder to read the fine print, this is it. The families of Jimi Hendrix’s bandmates have lost their final bid to claim a share of his catalogue, with the UK High Court dismissing their case on April 28.
The lawsuit was brought by the estates of Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell, who argued the pair were never properly compensated despite helping shape Are You Experienced, Axis: Bold as Love and Electric Ladyland.
Both estates – Redding’s long-standing entity and Mitchell’s, formed in 2021 – claimed the musicians died in “relative penury” and were owed a share of modern streaming revenue.
The court didn’t agree.
