Offspring frontman in hot water over aeroplane arrears
By Aly Barchi | Published on Thursday 29 May 2014
Dexter Holland, the white guy who sings in The Offspring, is facing legal action from a maker of light aircraft called Cessna after he missed a series of payments on his latest plane.
Because he has three planes, all told, though there’s nothing ‘fly’ about the fact that he hasn’t paid in full for one of them. Always pay for your planes, kids.
Let’s get this thing, and any fly/flying jokes anyone wants to make, out the way first.
And, back in the real, post-noughties world, Holland is over $780,000 (approx £466,000) in debt to Cessna for a plane that was purchased in 2007. The firm claims in legal papers, filed this week and picked up by TMZ, that it made a deal with him whereby he’d sell the newest plane privately, and have until 2017 to pay off his debt. That, and give Cessna his two ‘old’ flying machines to offset the balance. A deal he clearly hasn’t kept to, hence all the suing.
The Offspring are coming over to Europe and the UK this summer, to play various outdoor stages in festival-type situations, listings for which are on this site. I guess they’ve been saving air miles.
