The fictitious subject of the 1984 mockumentary 'This is Spinal Tap' finally settled a lawsuit, filed in 2016, which disputes that the band hadn't been getting paid royalties for their music or merch.
This is Spinal Tap
, filed a lawsuit, which cited"anti-competitive behavior" and"fraudulent accounting," as reasons for his claim to $125 million since the group had allegedly received only $98 in soundtrack royalties from 1989 until 2006 and only $81 for merchandise between 1984 and 2006, probably not even enough money for a miniature Stonehenge replica.
Shearer was later joined in the lawsuit by Christopher Guest, who portrayed guitarist Nigel Tufnel, Michael McKean, who performed as singer David St. Hubbins, and Reiner, the film's director, with the group seeking $400 million in damages.that Shearer praised Universal for their level of respect.
Spinal Tap has reunited a few times over the years, including at The Tribeca Film Festival earlier this year to celebrate their mockumentary's 35th anniversary. The band can finally crank it back up to eleven, because their lawsuit with Universal Music has been settled.
