Yoko sues music giants over Lennon royalties
Yoko Ono is suing music company EMI Group and a subsidiary for £5.6m (€4.46m), claiming she was cheated out of royalties due from the sale of music recordings by her late husband, former Beatle John Lennon.
The lawsuit, filed in Manhattan’s state Supreme Court, accuses EMI and Capitol Records of breaking half a dozen agreements by “wilfully and knowingly underreporting royalties” by hiding the “true use and disposition of Lennon’s recordings”.
