Stewart Copeland’s brief tour with The Doors ended in lawsuits, and not because of an injury

Wikipedia editors keep trying to remove factual information. The truth is that the tour was cut short because of a band rule that the band logo: “The Doors” not be used by any band members who are not the original members of the band.

As the Billboard article from March 2003, states:

Former Police drummer Stewart Copeland has filed $1 million breach of oral contract suit against two surviving members of the Doors, Ray Manzarek and Robbie Krieger. In the suit — filed last week in Los Angeles Superior Court — Copeland alleges that in February he was dismissed without cause as drummer from The Doors 21st Century, a revival act that since last year has been performing Doors material and features keyboardist Manzarek, guitarist Krieger, and Ian Astbury (formerly of the Cult) on vocals.

The suit says that Copeland, who was to receive “20% of the net profits” from touring and an as-yet-unreleased album, was paid his share through January, but his abrupt dismissal has caused him to lose more than $1 million.

Copeland’s action comes just weeks after original Doors drummer John Densmore filed his own suit against the refurbished Doors. As previously reported Densmore filed a multiple-count lawsuit against Manzarek and Krieger, among others, claiming that written and oral agreements mandate that the Doors name and logo can be used only by the complete original band. The drummer reportedly opted out of the new group due to his battle with the hearing disorder tinnitus.

Capitalization Consistency.

Just for consistency, all references to the band name were changed from the Police to The Police. Gprobins (talk) 21:46, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nope! See MOS:THEMUSIC which stipulates lower case 'the' for band names in running prose. Binksternet (talk) 21:58, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Also a Guitarist

With Gizmodrome and others, and in fact his current tour picture shows him holding a guitar, not drums. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.244.5.148 (talk) 06:23, 18 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Stewart Copeland and the CIA

Why is there relatively little about this Police group member and the dodgy US Intel outfit? For is not Copeland and his links to the CIA an issue of interest? 2.24.196.45 (talk) 17:21, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
