Back to the pop courts, and Audioslave frontman Chris Cornell is suing his ex-wife and one-time manager Susan J Silver over monies relating to his former band Soundgarden.
Cornell alleges that Silver diverted monies owed to him to other Soundgarden members. He also claims that his ex-wife failed in her duty to advise him to "protect his interests in copyrighted musical compositions that were created prior to the marriage".
The suit also seeks to stop Silver's Atmosphere Artist Management company from representing other former Soundgarden members on the grounds of "irreconcilable conflict of interest"; and there is a another clause that aims to reclaim a number of items of "significant monetary and personal value" which, Cornell claims, were taken by Silver when their marriage broke up in 2002.
Silver is yet to comment.
