Former Doors members Ray Manzarek and Robbie Krieger really should have bought a drum machine for their reunion tour – because those drummers just won't let it lie.
As previously reported original Doors drummer John Densmore sued the duo when he said neither he nor Jim Morrison's widow had given them permission to use the Doors name. Despite denying Densmore claims (they said they had asked Densmore to drum but he hadn't been fit enough), Manzarek and Krieger renamed their act The Doors 21st Century.
Now Densmore's replacement, former Police drummer Stewart Copeland, has filed $1 million lawsuit against the band after he fell out with the Doors duo after a few months touring and recording a new album. He claims he was unfairly dismissed from the band in February, and now wants the band to pay him the $1 million he reckons he is due after he was promised 20% of touring and record sales profits.
As far as we are aware Manzarek and Krieger are yet to comment – though presumably they've cleared a few weeks in their schedule for when both cases reach court.
