Aerosmith will play a free concert in Hawaii after they were sued over a gig they cancelled there in 2007.
Lawyers representing some of the fans who missed out when the band cancelled the 2007 show on the Hawaiian island of Maui said the rockers had done so because more lucrative deals - a corporate shindig on another Hawaian island (Ohau) and a bigger gig in Chicago - had come up at the last minute.
They said that the 8300 people who missed out had, between them, spent up to three million dollars in travel arrangements to get to the show, and launched a class action lawsuit on their behalf.
As a result of that lawsuit, the band have now agreed to play a gig on Maui later this year to which all those who missed out in 2007 will be invited. It's not clear if the band will also contribute to lost travel expenses and/or legal fees.
However, confirming that a gig would be played as part of a settlement in relation to the cancelled concert, Aerosmith's lawyer Jay Handlin told reporters: "The band is about the music. So they are glad to be able to resolve this in a way that really focuses on connecting or reconnecting the people of Hawaii with the band and its music".
