Badly Drawn Boy is suing Beggars label XL Recordings over allegedly unpaid royalties. BDB, aka Damon Gough, reckons he is owed £200,000 for his soundtrack album 'About A Boy', and a further £39,800 for unpaid royalties relating to his album 'One Plus One Is One'.
On the former, XL say they have withheld Gough's 'About A Boy' royalties because they needed to recoup on the advance payment they made to the film's producers for the rights to release the soundtrack.
Although signed to his own label Twisted Nerve, DBD's early releases were released through a relationship with XL.
