MICK Mars’ attorney has slammed an arbitrator’s decision against the guitarist and in favour of Motley Crue.
The 74-year-old suffered a crashing defeat in his legal action against the band recently and was ordered to repay $750,000 in fees he was paid un advance for concerts he did not perform.
Lawywer Ed McPherson said: “The decision is awful. It’s not fair. This band has never been fair to Mick.
“When Mick said, ‘I can’t tour anymore because of a hideous disease, but I can still write, perform one-offs or residencies and record,’ they said, ‘Sorry Mick. It’s been 43 years, but you’re out. Goodbye, and we don’t want to pay you anymore.
“This arbitrator said it’s fine.”
McPherson did not rule out an appeal.
The band’s legal counsel, Sasha Frid, hailed the decision, saying: “This dispute was about protecting the integrity and legacy of one of the most successful bands in rock history.
“With the arbitrator rejecting every claim and enforcing the parties’ agreements as written, the band has been fully vindicated — legally, financially, and factually.”
