Coldplay is facing a lawsuit from their former manager.
The four members of the record-breaking British rock group – frontman Chris Martin, guitarist Jonny Buckland, bassist Guy Berryman, drummer Will Champion – are being sued by Dave Holmes according to new legal documents filed in the United Kingdom, via Variety.
A rep for Coldplay confirmed to the outlet that the band quietly parted ways a year ago with Dave after working together for 22 years, which is nearly their entire professional career. They now continue to be managed by the team of Phil Harvey, Mandi Frost and Arlene Moon, who worked with them and Dave for many years.
The lawsuit is reportedly a contractual dispute, although further information was not immediately available. The legal documents have not been made public yet.
The band re-signed their label deals with Warner Music’s Parlophone in the U.K. and Atlantic in the U.S., as well as Wasserman Agency, in 2021, right before their album Music of the Spheres.
